| Obverse description | Youthful beardless head of Heracles in right profile, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress with the scalp knotted beneath the chin, its paws draped over the shoulder. The portrait displays finely rendered curling hair escaping from beneath the pelt, with strong classical facial features conveying the heroic ideal. The coin is enclosed by a plain inner border of beading. |
