| Obverse description | Facing right, the bearded head of Herakles is rendered in archaic Greek style, adorned with the scalp and mane of the Nemean lion as a headdress, its jaws framing the hero's crown. The feline pelt is depicted with fine incised detail showing the lion's ears and claws. The portrait occupies most of the flan, with minimal field visible around the effigy. The engraving reflects the local Pontic workshop tradition, combining Hellenic iconographic conventions with the relatively crude execution typical of small fractional coinage of this region and period. |
