| Obverse description | Diademed and youthful bare-headed portrait of Mithridates VI Eupator facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic manner recalling the portraits of Alexander the Great. The king displays flowing, wind-swept hair arranged in an anastole-like upswept lock above the forehead, falling in long wavy strands behind the neck. The facial features are finely modeled with a smooth, slightly idealized profile, prominent nose, and full lips. A simple royal diadem encircles the head, its ties trailing behind. The field is plain and unlettered. |
