| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style, wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the beast's jaws visible above the brow and the pelt draped behind. The facial features are finely modeled for the small module, displaying a prominent eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The flan is irregular, as typical of this early Macedonian silver issue. |
