Description: The symbol of the Mithridatic dynasty of Pontus since the 3rd c. BCE; found already in coins of Mithridates III and Pharnaces I. The symbol was also important in Byzantium/Constantinople, and was therefore adopted by the Ottomans after it conquest. Holding the Caliphate for centuries, the symbol was also permanently associated with the Muslim world. The star and crescent features prominently in the coins of Pontic kings, and in the coins of Greek cities under their realm, such as those of Amisos. Illustration is in royal purple strokes.
