| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bovine animal, likely a bull or ox, depicted in profile standing to the right with legs clearly articulated. The figure occupies the central field of the coin and is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style characteristic of provincial Nabataean-region civic bronze coinage. The ethnic inscription ΚΑΝΑΘ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Canatha in Arabia. The overall composition is compact, filling the small flan effectively despite the irregular planchet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Canatha, one of the cities of the Decapolis, retained the right to strike civic bronze under Roman imperial rule — a privilege that was administrative as much as honorific, allowing local authorities to manage small-denomination exchange without drawing on the imperial mint system. Issues under Commodus from this mint are sparsely documented, and the reference series for Arabian civic bronzes remains incomplete enough that die matches between known specimens occasionally force catalog revisions.
