| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The portrait is set within a beaded border, with the abbreviated imperial titulature legend distributed around the field. The die work is characteristic of the local Nicaean mint, with a somewhat coarse but expressive engraving style. |
