Dark green-brown patina. A most attractive specimen, both by production and design. The strike is sharp and well centered with nearly complete dotted borders on both sides. The anepigraphic obverse highlights the artistry of the portrait, depicting the mature Herakles; the reverse is also skillfully designed and well balanced.
