| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of King Ininthimeus facing right, with a short beard and naturalistic hair rendered in fine strands, shown within a beaded border. The king wears a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, reflecting Hellenistic royal portraiture conventions. The Greek legend ΒΑϹΙΛΕωϹ ΙΝΙΝΘΙΜΗΥΟΥ (of King Ininthimeus) runs around the periphery of the field. The portrait exhibits the robust, somewhat provincial modeling characteristic of Bosporan royal coinage of the mid-third century AD. |

Ininthimeus ruled the Bosporan Kingdom through a period of intense pressure from Gothic and Herulian tribal confederacies pushing into the northern Black Sea littoral. His reign required constant negotiation — and payment — to maintain the buffer that kept Panticapaeum viable as a commercial hub. The billon coinage of this period reflects that fiscal strain directly: electrum content had been debased progressively through the third century, and by Ininthimeus the alloy was barely nominal, a far cry from the gold staters his predecessors issued generations earlier.
