| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, with the scalp and mane rendered in fine relief framing the face. The facial features display the idealized Lysippan style characteristic of Macedonian royal coinage, with a well-modeled cheek, slightly parted lips, and curling hair visible beneath the paws of the lion skin knotted at the throat. The flan is slightly irregular, typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. |
