| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian coinage. The laureate wreath is clearly articulated with individual leaves. A Greek imperial legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΑΥΤ Κ Λ ΑΥ ΚοΜ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝοϹ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait displays characteristic features of Commodus — strong jaw, slightly curled hair — consistent with official Antonine portraiture. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of Bithynian civic bronzes of the period. |
