| Obverse description | Bare head of the youthful Heracles in right profile, wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the beast's jaws framing the hero's forehead and curly hair cascading beneath. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic craftsmanship, exhibiting well-defined brow, almond-shaped eye, and strong jaw. The lion's pelt drapes naturalistically over the neck and shoulder, its mane indicated by bold incised curls. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hammered coinage of Magna Graecia. The field is plain and without legend. |
