| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles in right profile, draped in the Nemean lion skin, the scalp tied beneath the chin with the forepaws knotted at the throat. The facial features are rendered with fine archaic detail, the eye presented frontally in the Greek convention. The fillet of the lion skin is visible above the brow, and the mane falls behind the neck. The flan is irregular and the striking bold for the diminutive module. |
