Nothing is known about Pedanius Costa, who was the legate of Brutus who signed this coin. What is interesting iconographically about the head of Apollo on the obverse is the way the standard border of dots has been changed to tear-drop shaped rays, thus emphasizing his connection with the sun. The reverse type refers to Brutus’ victories in Thrace and it is believed that these coins were struck from silver obtained from Polemocratia, the widow of the Thracian prince Sadala.

Laureate head of Apollo right
