| Obverse description | Youthful, beardless head of Heracles facing right, depicted in the idealized Lysippan tradition, wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the lion's mane and open jaws rendered in fine relief framing the face. The hair of Heracles is visible beneath the lion skin at the temple and nape. The portrait displays the characteristic strong jawline and full lips associated with the Alexander-type coinage. The field is plain, and the design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
