| Obverse description | Youthful head of Heracles facing right, wearing the lion skin headdress with the scalp tied beneath the chin, the paws knotted at the neck. The portrait is rendered in fine high relief with flowing curly hair visible beneath the lion scalp, displaying the idealized features associated with Alexander III. The dotted border frames the design at the coin's periphery, characteristic of Macedonian coinage of this period. |
