| Reverse description | A stag grazing to the left occupies the central field, rendered in fine Hellenistic style. The Greek royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ appears above, with MIΘPAΔATOY and EYΠATOPOΣ inscribed in two lines below the stag. To the left, a star-in-crescent symbol appears above a monogram. To the right, the regnal year BKΣ (year 222 of the Pontic era, corresponding to 75 BC) appears above a second monogram, with the month letter Z placed in the exergue. The entire design is encircled by a Dionysiac wreath of ivy leaves and fruit, underscoring the king's association with Dionysos. |
