| Beschrijving keerzijde | Pan, the rustic deity, seated left upon a rocky outcrop, his right hand raised toward his head in a characteristic gesture of repose or contemplation, while his left elbow rests upon his syrinx (Pan pipes). A pedum (shepherd's crook) is depicted upside down behind the rocks, serving as an attribute reinforcing Pan's pastoral identity. The composition is typical of provincial Macedonian reverses celebrating local religious iconography. The colonial legend encircles the field, referencing the Colonia Iulia Augusta at Pella. The die work, though provincial in execution, conveys a competent rendering of the god's characteristic attributes. |

The misspelling in the colonial title — PGLLA for PELLA — is not a modern cataloging quirk but an actual die engraver's error preserved on the coin itself. Pella had held Roman colonial status since Augustus, and its civic bronzes typically maintained formulaic Latin with reasonable accuracy. This particular die stands out precisely because it slipped through whatever approval process existed at the provincial level during the chaotic opening year of Gordian III's reign, when the boy emperor's elevation following the murder of Pupienus and Balbinus left administrative oversight across the eastern provinces genuinely disrupted.
