| Obverse description | Facing head of the youthful Heracles, turned slightly to the left, rendered in archaic-influenced style characteristic of Cilician coinage of the fourth century BC. The hero is depicted wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the skin knotted beneath the chin. The facial features are boldly modeled, with almond-shaped eyes and full lips typical of the period. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

The figure wears a turreted crown decorated with two disc ornaments and an acanthus leaf, reflecting the iconographic conventions of civic or divine personifications common in Cilician coinage of the fourth century BC. She is further adorned with a triple-pendant earring and a pearl necklace, emphasizing the regal or divine character of the portrait. The field is plain and bears no inscription or legend. |
