PONTOS, Amisos. temp. Mithradates VI. Circa 100-85 BC. Æ (19mm, 6.60 g, 12h). Helmeted head of Ares(?) right / Sword in sheath; star-in-crescent to upper right. SNG BM Black Sea – ; HGC 7, 241. Near VF, dark brown patina, adjustment marks.

Somewhat crude style for this issue, and the star and crescent usually are to the upper left of the reverse. Perhaps a contemporary copy?
