| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, with a short, lightly incised beard consistent with his early reign portraiture. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Corinthian colonial coinage, with the laurel wreath clearly distinguished on the head. A circular legend surrounds the bust, partially legible on this worn specimen, reading IMP M AVR CO[M]O ANTO AVG, invoking the emperor's full imperial titulature. |
