| Obverse description | Diademed portrait bust of Mithridates VI Eupator facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with idealized, youthful features and a full head of wavy, flowing hair swept back from the brow. The diadem is rendered as a broad fillet tied at the nape, with its ends falling behind the neck. The portrait displays fine engraving with strong relief, evoking the heroic royal imagery associated with Alexander the Great. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. |
