| Reverse description | The emperor depicted on horseback advancing to the right, wearing military attire and holding a spear diagonally across his body in a commanding posture, a type evoking imperial military prowess. The horse is shown in mid-stride. The reverse legend is distributed around the field and divided by a ground line, with the civic ethnic and the name of the local archon Faustinus recorded below, attesting to the municipal administration of Peltae under the Macedonian tribal designation. |

| Additional information |
Peltae was a minor Phrygian city whose coins almost never name a magistrate — making this issue, struck under the archonship of Faustinus, unusually specific. Local magistrates' names appear on provincial bronzes from this region only when a city wished to publicly credit an individual, often because he had personally funded the minting costs.
