Description
On the obverse of the coin, the god Apollo stands facing to the left, leaning against a laurel tree with a libation bowl held in his hand. On the coin’s reverse side, the demigod Herakles stands facing the right while holding a lion skin, a club, and a bow. The imagery of the Greek gods is an example of the high level of Greek influence in the area.
