| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Commodus, with short to medium-length beard, facing right and viewed from the rear. The portrait presents a youthful imperial effigy consistent with early regnal issues of Commodus. The obverse legend encircles the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | Nude Apollo stands to the left, inclining forward with one foot resting upon an omphalos, his elbow supported on his raised knee in a contemplative pose. The god holds a laurel branch in his extended hand, with a raven depicted beneath. The composition reflects Hellenistic artistic conventions common to Troas colonial bronzes. The colonial legend is distributed around the field. |
