| Obverse description | Youthful head of Heracles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion-skin headdress, the scalp drawn over the crown with the jaws framing the face and the forepaws knotted at the throat. The portrait displays fine die-engraving with carefully rendered curling hair visible beneath the pelt, conveying the idealized heroic type associated with Alexander III coinage. A dotted border frames the field. |
