| Obverse description | Laureate head of Herakles facing right, rendered in bold relief with deeply engraved hair and a naturalistic, bearded visage. The deity's characteristic features — strong jaw, prominent brow, and full beard — are rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition. The surrounding field is plain, with no visible inscription on the obverse. The flan shows typical irregularity consistent with hand-struck bronze coinage of the period. |
