| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Commodus facing right, with a long beard characteristic of his later portraits; the bust may bear traces of drapery at the truncation, though heavily worn. The legend, partially legible, surrounds the portrait within a beaded border. The die work displays the provincial style typical of the Alexandrian Troas mint during the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas, a Roman colony on the Troad coast, held the rare distinction of ius italicum — a legal status granting its land the same rights as Italian soil, including exemption from provincial land tax. This privilege, confirmed under Hadrian, gave the city both the means and the motivation to maintain an unusually active local bronze coinage well into the Severan period. Commodus was a particularly generous patron of the city's colonial status, and issues bearing his name cluster noticeably during the middle years of his reign.
