| Obverse description | Bearded bust of Heracles in left profile, shown striding right, his head adorned with the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress. In his extended left hand he carries a bow, while his raised right hand grips a club overhead. An ankh symbol appears in the right field. The design is contained within a beaded border along the rim, executed in the archaic Cypro-Phoenician artistic tradition. |

The royal name of Pumiathon appears in Phoenician script above the scene. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded square border in the field. |
