| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Mithradates II facing left, wearing a torque and a beaded diadem, with short curled beard and long hair rendered in fine parallel striae. A griffin protome decorates the neck of his cloak, a distinctive dynastic emblem of the early Mithradatic coinage. The portrait is rendered in a Hellenistic artistic tradition, with bold modeling of facial features characteristic of the Ecbatana mint's output. The field is plain, with a beaded border surrounding the entire design. |
