| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, draped at the shoulder, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The laureate wreath is clearly rendered in the flan's relief. The encircling Greek legend reads Λ ΑΙ ΑΥΡΗΛΙ ΚΟΜΜΟΔΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his Latinized name in Greek characters. The portrait displays the characteristic broad facial features associated with Commodan coinage from this region. |
