Silver Tetradrachm Depicting Herakles and an Eagle
Two sides of a silver coin shown against a gray backdrop. One side bears a bearded-free laureate male head in profile facing right with a lion-skin or wreath-like hair band; the reverse shows a perched eagle with spread wings beside Greek inscription letters. Worn but legible surfaces suggest ancient minting.
