| Obverse description | Youthful heroic head of Heracles facing right, wearing the lion skin headdress with the scalp pulled over the crown and the paws knotted at the throat, rendered in high relief with finely detailed mane locks cascading behind. The facial features display the idealized yet vigorous style characteristic of the early Diadochi period, with a prominent brow, aquiline nose, and parted lips. A beaded border encircles the field. The portrait follows the canonical Alexander-type iconography established under Alexander III, here continued posthumously by Antigonus as a statement of dynastic legitimacy. |
