Reverse description Herakles seated left upon a rock or throne, nude, holding a club resting upright on his right knee in the traditional Seleucid-derived type. A monogram appears in the upper left field, and the letter X (possibly a control mark) is placed below the hero's arm. The exergue carries the inscription ΟΣ. The royal Greek legend encircles the field identifying the king by his full titulature.
