| Reverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, adorned with the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, the lion's open jaws visible above the hero's brow and the paws knotted at the neck. The portrait is rendered within a shallow incuse concave circle, a hallmark of early Boeotian hammered coinage. The Greek letters Ε and Π appear in the field flanking the portrait, serving as the ethnic abbreviation referencing the magistrate or civic authority Epaminondas. |
