Obverse description	Laureate head of Emperor Commodus facing right, with a prominent long beard rendered in the distinctive Commodan style, the laurel wreath clearly articulated atop the imperial effigy. The abbreviated Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the field. The portrait exhibits the typical provincial die-cutting style of the Phrygian mint, with somewhat coarse but characterful engraving.

Reverse description	Zeus enthroned, seated to the right on a high-backed throne, his upper body bare, with drapery across the lower limbs; he holds a long vertical sceptre in his left hand while his right arm rests upon his knee. The civic ethnic legend ΚΟΤΙΑΕΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing authority of Cotiaeum. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial Phrygian style, bold but somewhat schematic in execution.
