| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of Mithradates VI, assimilated to Dionysos, facing right, the hair rendered in flowing wavy locks falling to the neck. The head is crowned with an ivy wreath bearing prominent berries and leaves, evoking the god's Dionysiac attributes. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic royal tradition, conveying idealized youthfulness combined with regal authority. The field is plain, with no visible legend on the obverse. |
