| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Commodus, with short to medium beard, facing right and seen from the rear. The obverse legend encircles the bust, reading IMP CAI (sic) M AVR COMMOD AVG, the erroneous spelling of CAI for CAE being a notable feature of this issue. The portrait reflects the imperial iconography characteristic of Commodus's early reign, combining military and divine attributes. |
