| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in the mature Hellenistic style with flowing curls and a full beard. The laurel wreath is depicted with naturalistic detail, the leaves arranged in overlapping tiers across the crown. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, with the face rendered in high relief showing strong, idealized features characteristic of Pontic civic coinage issued under Mithradates VI Eupator. The field is plain and uninscribed. |
