| Reverse description | Stylised standing figure of Herakles facing left, heavily abstracted in the Celtic manner and derived from the reverse type of the Thasian tetradrachm. The hero holds a club in his extended right hand and a lion's skin in his left, both elements reduced to geometric lines and curves. Pseudo-Greek legends flank the figure: ΣHOΣV to the right, ZHOΣZ to the left, and ITNMH below, with the letter N above a reversed И (retrograde N) in the inner left field — all representing a Celtic imitation of the original Thasian inscription ΗΡΑΚΛΕΙΟΥΣ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΘΑΣΙΩΝ. |
