| Obverse description | Youthful male head in right profile, depicting the hero Herakles, enveloped in the scalp and paws of the Nemean lion as a headdress, the beast's open jaws framing the forehead and crown in high relief. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic craftsmanship, displaying a strong jaw, well-defined nose, and naturalistic curling hair visible beneath the lion skin. The pelt's mane falls loosely over the neck and left shoulder, its striated folds boldly articulated. A beaded border frames the design on the right field. No legend appears on the obverse. |
