| Obverse description | Bare-headed, short-bearded draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, clad in paludamentum, with characteristic curly hair rendered in thick layered locks. The effigy displays the youthful imperial portrait style typical of Commodus's early reign. A Greek legend encircles the bust, contained within a beaded border. The overall style is consistent with provincial Bithynian bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |
