| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mesopotamian civic coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic laurel wreath encircling the head, with neck truncation visible at the base. The Greek legend encircles the effigy along the periphery of the flan. The coin surface shows the typically irregular fabric of a locally struck provincial bronze issue. |
