| Obverse description | Bare-headed, lightly bearded bust of Commodus as Caesar, laureate, wearing cuirass and paludamentum, facing right, rendered from a central viewpoint. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Commodus during the co-reign with his father Marcus Aurelius, with fine engraving of the drapery folds of the cloak over the left shoulder. The obverse legend arcs around the periphery of the flan, partially framing the imperial effigy. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Homonoia (Concordia) facing left, wearing a kalathos (modius) on her head and long draped robes. She extends her right hand to pour a libation from a patera over a small lighted altar at her feet, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia, symbolising prosperity and civic harmony. The reverse legend is distributed around the field and references the local strategos Rufus and the ethnic designation of the Attaeitans, with the distinctive phi (Φ) rendered in the unusual form ·Ι·, a notable regional epigraphic peculiarity. |
