| Obverse description | Youthful, beardless head of Heracles in right profile, wearing the Nemean lion-skin headdress, the scalp drawn over the crown with the beast's open jaws framing the forehead and the forepaws knotted at the throat. The hair beneath the headdress is rendered in fine, flowing locks. A dotted border runs along the flan edge. The portrait closely follows the Alexandrine type, presented here as the deified hero-ancestor of the Argead and Diadoch dynasties. |
