| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Pharnakes II facing right, rendered in high relief with deeply engraved, flowing curly hair cascading to the neck and short beard along the jaw. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic royal tradition, combining idealized features with individualized physiognomic details. The field is plain, with no visible legend on the obverse. The artistic style reflects the influence of Pontic royal coinage, closely related to the portraiture of Mithradates VI. |
