| Obverse description | Youthful laureate bust of Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Patras mint. The portrait displays the emperor's early features with a laurel wreath crowning his head, and drapery visible at the shoulder. The surrounding legend is partially legible around the field, with a notably irregular first letter M rendered as two lambdas (Λ.Λ). The overall style reflects the local engraving tradition of Roman Achaea during the late Antonine period. |
