| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Phoenician civic coinage. The emperor's portrait displays a beaded border encircling the flan. The circumferential Latin legend reads IMP COMMODVS ANTONINVS AVG, identifying the emperor by his imperial titles. The portrait exhibits the characteristic strong jaw and curled hair associated with Commodan numismatic portraiture. |
