| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, diademed and bearded effigy of King Attambelos II facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with individualized features. The royal diadem is depicted as a broad band tied across the forehead with visible striations, characteristic of the Characenian court style. The full beard is rendered with fine engraved striations falling in layered waves across the lower face and neck. The portrait is executed in high relief, occupying the majority of the flan, with the field largely plain and no surrounding legend on the obverse. The coin exhibits the irregular, somewhat roughly-struck character typical of bronze issues from the Characene kingdom of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Herakles seated left on a low, anvil-shaped rectangular seat, his muscular nude body rendered in Hellenistic style. He holds a club with his right hand, resting it vertically upon his right knee, while his left arm extends along his side. The royal Greek legend flanks the figure vertically in the fields to left and right. A royal monogram appears before his head in the upper left field. A regnal date appears in the exergue, though it is generally illegible due to the worn and irregular strike typical of Characenian bronze coinage. |
