| Obverse description | Head of Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion's scalp headdress, the paws knotted at the throat; the facial features are rendered in a fine Hellenistic style with clearly articulated curling locks emerging from beneath the scalp. The flan is slightly irregular, with the design boldly struck and well centred. No legend is present on the obverse, consistent with the Siculo-Punic imitativecoinage tradition drawing on Alexandrine prototypes. |
