| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful bare-shouldered bust of Heracles in right-facing profile, his smooth, idealised features framed by the scalp of the Nemean lion worn as a headdress, with the beast's muzzle prominent over the brow and its paws knotted at the neck. The naturalistic rendering of the musculature and curling hair beneath the lion skin reflects the high-relief Macedonian die-cutting tradition of the early Alexander series. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The overall style is consistent with the early Amphipolis mint issues struck under Alexander III. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned to the left upon a low throne, his upper body nude and draped from the waist, holding an eagle perched on his extended right hand and a long sceptre upright in his left. The royal legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs to the right of the throne. In the left field, a cock stands facing left, serving as a mint control symbol identifying the Amphipolis issue. The composition is well-centred with clean fields typical of the early regal coinage, and the engraving of Zeus displays authoritative, classical dignity consistent with the Price series for this mint. |
