| Reverse description | Standing figure, likely a deity or personification, depicted in the left field of the reverse, partially obscured by heavy patina and wear. The abbreviated civic ethnic legend ΠΑΝΟΡΜ appears in the field to the right of the figure, identifying the issuing city of Panormus in Sicily. A dotted border frames the design. The reverse type reflects the local municipal coinage conventions of Sicilian cities under early Imperial Roman authority. |

| Additional information |
Panormus, on Sicily's northern coast, had been a Carthaginian stronghold before Rome absorbed it during the First Punic War. By Augustus's reign it held the status of a Roman colony — Colonia Julia Augusta Panormus — a designation that authorized the city to produce its own bronze coinage under the imperial name, one of the last phases of provincial civic minting before such rights were progressively curtailed under his successors.
