| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of Heracles facing right, depicted beardless in the idealized Hellenistic style, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress with the scalp drawn over the crown and the lion's paws knotted at the neck. The facial features are finely modeled with curling locks of hair visible beneath the pelt. A dotted border frames the design at the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low stool-throne, his right hand outstretched bearing an eagle and his left hand grasping a long scepter. In the left field, the forepart of a lion advancing left is placed above a torch, serving as mint control marks. Beneath the throne, a pentagram appears as an additional control symbol. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ is inscribed in two lines flanking the figure. |
