| Obverse description | Youthful cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Commodus as Caesar, bearded with early whiskers, laureate, facing right and seen from the rear. The portrait captures the prince in his youth, with finely modelled drapery folds of the military cloak visible over the left shoulder. The legend encircles the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The Lupa Romana, the she-wolf of Rome, stands to the right upon a ground line, her head turned back to the left as she suckles the twin infants Romulus and Remus beneath her. The type evokes the legendary founding of Rome and underscores the colonial status of Alexandria Troas as a Roman colonia. The colonial legend is distributed around the type within a beaded border, with COL AVG above and TROAD in the exergue. |
