| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Pescennius Niger facing right, rendered in the standard provincial style of the Antioch mint. The emperor's portrait displays the characteristic features associated with this short-lived claimant to the throne during the Year of the Five Emperors. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES C PESC NIGER IVST AV, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The die work reflects the somewhat irregular fabric typical of the Antiochene workshops of this period. The flan shows the characteristic irregular outline common to hammered issues struck under emergency or provincial conditions. |
