The deity is rendered in the classical tradition consistent with civic coinage of Mysia. The ethnic legend ΠΕΡΠΕΡΗΝΙΩΝ is distributed in the field to either side of the standing figure. A dotted border frames the design around the periphery of the flan. |

| Additional information |
Perperene was a minor Aeolian town in the Caicus River valley, administratively subordinate to Pergamum's conventus — the Roman judicial circuit that grouped smaller communities under a regional hub for legal and administrative purposes. Its civic coinage under Domitian is sparse, and the city never achieved the output volume of its neighbors. II#915 places this among a handful of attributed types for the reign.
