| Reverse description | Eagle standing left upon a thunderbolt, head turned to the right, with wings fully outstretched in a heraldic posture, a powerful symbol of Zeus's dominion. The civic legend AMIΣΟΥ appears in the exergue, identifying the issuing city of Amisos. A monogram is positioned in the left field, likely referencing a civic or magistrate's mark. The composition is well-balanced within the flan, characteristic of Pontic bronze coinage of the late second and early first centuries BC. The reverse type directly complements the obverse portrait of Zeus, reinforcing the religious and political iconography of Mithridates VI's coinage. |
