| Obverse description | Diademed and youthful bare-headed portrait bust of Mithridates VI Eupator facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic royal tradition with deeply modelled features and flowing, voluminous curly hair. A royal diadem is tied at the back of the head with ribbon ends falling behind the neck. The portrait exhibits a strong aquiline profile, almond-shaped eye, and finely articulated facial musculature consistent with the high-quality die-engraving associated with the Pergamene mint. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Pegasus standing left with head lowered to graze, rendered with fine detail in the wings and musculature, occupying the central field. To the left, the Pontic royal badge of a star-in-crescent appears prominently in the field. To the right of Pegasus, the regnal year ϹΣ (year 206 of the Pontic era, corresponding to 92 BC) is inscribed above a monogram. The month letter Γ (month three) appears in the exergue. The entire design is enclosed within a Dionysiac wreath of ivy leaves and fruit. The Greek royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ MIΘPAΔATOY EYΠATOPOΣ runs within the wreath border. |
