Anokhin (1986) #327.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Mithridates III 336 (40) coin from Bosporan Kingdom is that it features the image of a mythical creature called the "Bosporan Kingdom Griffin" on its reverse side. This griffin is depicted with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, symbolizing the kingdom's powerful and majestic nature.
