| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of Heracles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, with the scalp of the lion's muzzle visible atop the head and its flowing mane cascading behind the neck. The finely modelled facial features exhibit the idealised Hellenistic portrait style associated with Alexander III coinage. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |
