| Obverse description | Youthful beardless head of Heracles facing right, portrayed with idealized classical features, enveloped in the lion skin headdress with the scalp drawn over the crown and the forelegs knotted at the throat. The mane and pelt of the lion skin are rendered in fine relief, framing the face with deeply carved striations. No legend appears in the field; the coin is struck on a broad, slightly irregular flan characteristic of early Amphipolis production. |
