| Obverse description | Head of the deified Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress with the scalp drawn over the crown and tied beneath the chin, rendered in fine high relief with naturalistically modeled features. The hair falls in thick, wavy locks over the neck and temple. The overall style is characteristic of the Lysimachean-influenced Alexandrine coinage tradition, with a bold, idealized portrait evoking both heroic divinity and royal authority. The field is smooth and unadorned, with a fine beaded border visible at the coin's periphery. |
