| Obverse description | Youthful laureate head of Commodus facing right, depicted as co-emperor during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. The bare neck portrait reflects the early, idealized effigy of the young prince, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage. A Greek imperial legend encircles the portrait within the field. |
