| Obverse description | Laureate and slightly draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Achaean civic coinage. The laureate wreath is rendered with individual berries and leaves, and traces of drapery are visible on the left shoulder. The imperial titulature legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the characteristic curly hair and beard associated with Commodus's mature coinage. |
