| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter rear view. The imperial titulature is rendered in Greek across the field. The portrait reflects the provincial die-cutting style typical of Carian civic coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Hypatos (Zeus the Supreme) depicted standing to the left, his right hand extending a thunderbolt downward over an eagle perched before him, while his left hand holds a long vertical sceptre. The composition follows a well-established Anatolian civic reverse type venerating the local epithet of Zeus. The figure is rendered in a simply articulated provincial style characteristic of Carian bronze coinage. |
