| Obverse description | Bare head of Ares facing right, wearing a Hellenistic open-faced helmet with a prominent bowl and long trailing neck-guard plume extending to the left. The facial features are rendered with strong, slightly idealized Hellenistic modeling, exhibiting a short beard and well-defined jaw. The bust is truncated at the shoulder, with drapery faintly suggested at the base. The field is unadorned, with no legend present on this side. The style is characteristic of Pontic royal coinage struck under Mithridates VI. |
