| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, with characteristic curled hair and short beard rendered in the provincial style. The imperial effigy is depicted with strong portraiture features, the neck and shoulder visible below. A Greek legend surrounds the bust, distributed across the field in the typical manner of Bithynian provincial coinage. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze production of the late Antonine period. |
