Beschrijving voorzijde Head of Herakles facing right, wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, the lion's muzzle visible across the crown of the head and the paws knotted at the throat. The portrait is rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair emerging beneath the lion skin, conveying the heroic ideal associated with Alexander III. The facial features display the characteristic idealized Macedonian style, with a strong profile, prominent brow, and slightly parted lips. No legend is present on the obverse, the field being plain around the boldly struck effigy.
