| Aversbeschreibung | Bare head of Ares facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet with cheek guards, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait style associated with the coinage of Mithridates VI of Pontus. The facial features are bold and idealized, with the helmet crest extending prominently to the rear. The flan is irregular and the surface shows typical patination consistent with struck bronze coinage of the Pontic period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Amisos, a Greek colony on the Black Sea coast of Pontus, issued bronze coinage under Mithridates VI as part of his broader effort to project Hellenistic royal authority across his kingdom without formally breaking from the city's civic minting traditions. The result was a municipally-styled bronze that circulated through one of antiquity's most commercially active Black Sea ports.
Mithridates VI ruled for over half a century before Rome finally cornered him — he outlasted three Roman commanders sent to destroy him, survived multiple betrayals, and died in 63 BC at Panticapaeum after his own son Pharnaces turned against him.
