| Obverse description | Youthful cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Commodus, laureate, facing right, seen from the front centre. The portrait presents the emperor in his early co-regency period, with the cuirass visible at the shoulder and the paludamentum fastened across the chest. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the future emperor by name and titles. |

| Reverse description | Dionysus reclines to the left atop a panther striding to the right, his body in a languid pose characteristic of Hellenistic divine imagery. The god raises his right hand to rest upon the crown of his head while holding a long, fillet-adorned thyrsus diagonally across the field. The panther, sacred animal of Dionysus, is rendered in dynamic walking posture beneath the reclining deity. The reverse legend, naming the strategos Tatianus and the city of Silandus, is disposed around the design within the field. |
