Comment
Reference: Paris 1394A, BNFInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was part of a semi-autonomous coinage system, meaning that it was issued by a local authority, the Conventus of Pergamum, rather than by the central government. This system allowed for more regional control and diversity in coinage design, and it's a unique aspect of the coin's history.
