Dear eriknorthman & Board,

Did you accidentally copy the quotes when you copied and pasted Andreas's search string in Isegrim? 

Yes, it looks like Kurt and Andreas nailed the coin (way to go!), but of course if someone has part 4 of SNG Pfälzer, it would still be interesting to see what that coin looks like.  A bit surprisingly, there are no coins of Perga recorded for Faustina II on RPC IV Online, although I suppose the reason for that was the expectation of a new reference on that city's coinage to use as a primary resource.

Checked the coin in SNG Pfalz and it seems to be a die match.

Dear Thilo,

Thank you for the confirmation which I think reaffirms the value of having access to that particular volume of SNG Pfalz!  It probably has more coins currently unlisted on RPC IV Online.
