| Obverse description | Youthful cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Commodus, seen from the rear, with laureate head facing right. The portrait reflects the early co-imperial period, rendered in the provincial style typical of the Mysian mint at Abydus. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |
