| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, the effigy rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The abbreviated Greek imperial titulature encircles the portrait as a peripheral legend in the field. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and somewhat flat strike common to late Antonine provincial issues from this mint. |

Prusa ad Olympum — modern Bursa — was a Bithynian city that owed its founding legend to Prusias I of Bithynia in the second century BC, though Roman-era civic coinage there reflects a community keenly invested in imperial flattery. Issues under Commodus are relatively scarce compared to neighboring Nicaea and Nicomedia, which dominated Bithynian bronze output. This piece falls in the final two years of Commodus's reign, before his assassination on New Year's Eve 192 AD — a murder organized by members of his own household, including his chamberlain and his mistress Marcia.
