| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of Heracles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, with the scalp drawn over the crown of the head and the lion's jaw framing the face; the mane and forepaws rendered in fine engraved detail falling behind the neck. The portrait displays the idealized, beardless features conventionally associated with Heracles in the Alexander coinage tradition, rendered in high relief with bold, confident modeling characteristic of late 4th-century Macedonian die-cutting. |
