| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Commodus, bearded with long beard, facing right, seen from the front. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage of the later 2nd century AD. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his titles and nomenclature. |

| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing on a ground line, its wings spread wide, with head turned to the left and a wreath held in its beak. The eagle, a prominent symbol of imperial power and divine favour in provincial coinage, is depicted in a bold, stylised manner typical of Phrygian civic issues. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the type in the reverse field. |
