| Reverse description | A stag grazing to the left occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief as the royal symbol of Pontos. The Greek legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ arches above, while MIΘPAΔATOY and EYΠATOPOΣ appear in two lines below the stag, giving the full royal titulature of Mithridates VI. To the left, a star-in-crescent device appears above the regnal year date ΔKΣ (year 224 of the Pontic era, corresponding to 74 BC); two monograms appear to the right of the stag. The month letter Γ (month 3) is placed in the exergue. The entire design is enclosed within a Dionysiac wreath of ivy leaves and fruit, a hallmark of the Mithridatic coinage series. |
