| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles in right profile, wearing the lionskin headdress with the scalp knotted at the throat, the mane rendered in flowing, deeply cut locks framing the face. The facial features are finely modeled in the Lysippan tradition, with high cheekbones, a prominent brow, and slightly parted lips. The lion's mouth and muzzle are visible atop the hero's head, and the paws are knotted loosely beneath the chin. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck coinage of the Hellenistic period. |
