The Tetrobol coin from Phanagoreia (Pontos) was minted during the reign of King Mithradates VI Eupator, who ruled the Kingdom of Pontus from 120 BC to 63 BC. Mithradates VI was known for his military conquests and his efforts to expand the kingdom's territories, which led to conflicts with neighboring powers, including Rome. The Tetrobol coin was likely used to finance the king's military campaigns and other state expenses.
