| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Mithridates VI to right, wearing a winged helmet adorned with layered ribbing and a prominent plume, his hair rendered in thick wavy strands falling to the nape of the neck. The facial features are boldly modeled in the Hellenistic tradition, with a strong profile, aquiline nose, and a hint of a beard rendered in small pellets along the chin. A wing emerges from the helmet above the ear, a characteristic iconographic element associating the king with Perseus. The bust is set within a plain circular field with no surrounding legend on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amisos struck this bronze under Mithridates VI during the period when he was systematically absorbing the Greek coastal cities of Pontus into his kingdom — granting them autonomy on paper while aligning their coinage with his dynastic program. The city retained its civic mint identity, but the output served Pontic imperial ambitions as much as local commerce. Mithridates would eventually lose Amisos to Lucullus in 71 BC, at which point the city was sacked and the mint ceased production under his authority.
