| Obverse description | Youthful male head in right profile, identifiable as Heracles wearing the Nemean lion scalp headdress, the paws knotted at the throat. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic artistry, displaying a strong brow, aquiline nose, and slightly parted lips. The lion's mane frames the face naturalistically, with the scalp covering the crown of the head. The portrait follows the standard iconographic type established under Alexander III, associating the king with his legendary divine ancestor. No legend appears on the obverse field. |
