| Obverse description | Bare head of the deified Heracles in right profile, wearing the Nemean lion-skin headdress, the scalp knotted at the throat with the forepaws draped over the neck. The facial features are youthful and idealized, widely understood as a veiled portrait of Alexander the Great. The flan is struck with fine high-relief modeling, encircled by a beaded border. |
