| Obverse description | Bare-headed, bearded bust of Heracles facing right, with the lionskin draped over his shoulders, rendered in a bold provincial style. The portrait is set within a plain circular border with no legend. The musculature and characteristic features of the hero are summarily but effectively conveyed by the local engraver. |
