| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Achaean colonial coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard and curled hair of Commodus, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated across the brow. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, with notable die irregularities including an inverted D and a reversed S in the inscription. The overall style reflects the competent but slightly rustic hand of a provincial mint. |
