| Obverse description | Bare head of the youthful, beardless Heracles in right profile, clad in the Nemean lion-skin headdress with the scalp drawn over the crown and the paws knotted at the throat. The modelling is bold and high-relief, characteristic of the post-Alexandrine Pamphylian workshop, with finely rendered curling locks visible beneath the pelt and a strongly articulated jaw and brow. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a low backless throne (diphros), his body draped from the waist, holding an eagle perched on his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre upright in his left. The regnal-year control mark IΔ (year 14 of the Pergeian era, corresponding to 208/207 BC) appears in the left field. The royal legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, reading downward in the standard Alexandrine convention. |
