| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Mithridates VI Eupator facing right, portrayed in the guise of Alexander the Great with idealized youthful features and flowing hair adorned with a royal diadem. The effigy displays the characteristic leonine mane and heroic physiognomy favored in Pontic royal portraiture, with fine modeling of the facial features and an energetic treatment of the hair typical of Hellenistic die-cutting. No legend appears on the obverse field, the portrait occupying the full flan in the grand manner of Alexander-type coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mithridates VI struck these gold staters at Tomis — a Black Sea mint on the western Pontic coast, modern Constanța in Romania — during the First Mithridatic War, the same years he was simultaneously orchestrating the massacre of up to 80,000 Roman and Italian civilians across Asia Minor. The Tomis mint operated under Pontic control only briefly during this window of maximum Mithridatic expansion, making its output genuinely scarce relative to the better-known Pontic issues.
The HGC rates this type I-I: the highest rarity classification in that system.
