On the coin presented here Herakles clearly is wearing a lionskin headdress, so this variant fits perhaps better:

But in any case better pictures would help :).

 Thankyou for the help to you both.

I have 4 coins of the type, both with lion skin and without.

The reason that the pictures is a bit blury, is that it is blown up so much, and the format is only 1/5 of the original to bee alowed to put up. Original photo is 14,68 MB, but reduced to 2,77 MB
