| Obverse description | Laureate head of Pescennius Niger facing right, rendered in the provincial Syrian style characteristic of the Antioch mint, with somewhat coarse engraving typical of usurper coinage of the period. The portrait features a short beard and simplified facial modelling. A beaded border frames the field. The Latin imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery, partially visible through wear. |
