| Reverse description | A nude hero or Heracles kneeling to the right, grappling with a standing lion in a dynamic wrestling composition rendered with vigorous musculature. The hero grips the lion firmly, with both figures interlocked in a scene of heroic struggle derived from the Heraclean tradition. The ethnic legend ΛΥΚΚΕΙΟΥ (genitive of Lykkeios) is inscribed in Greek characters divided across the left and right fields. The scene is set within a plain field with no exergue line, enclosed by a beaded border. |
