| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Commodus facing right, depicted with characteristic curly hair and beard in the Alexandrian provincial style. The emperor's effigy is rendered in moderate relief, with the laurel wreath clearly visible atop the head. A Greek imperial legend surrounds the portrait in the field, partially legible due to the coin's worn and damaged condition. The flan exhibits an old suspension hole pierced above the portrait, indicating secondary use as a pendant in antiquity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Regnal year 25 of Commodus corresponds to 184–185 AD, a period when his grip on the Roman west was tightening into the paranoid autocracy that would define his final years. Alexandria's civic bronze coinage continued under Roman provincial administration, the mint operating with considerable autonomy in its iconographic choices — a freedom Roman emperors largely tolerated so long as the emperor's name appeared.
The L ΚΕ date formula is the standard Alexandrian regnal notation, ΚΕ being 25 in Greek numerals.
