| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Pescennius Niger facing right, with short beard and draped paludamentum visible at the shoulder truncation. The portrait is rendered in a somewhat provincial style characteristic of Syrian mint production, with bold, slightly irregular modelling of the facial features. The circumferential legend runs along the border of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular shape of the coin. |
