| Obverse description | Youthful bare-headed bust of Commodus as Caesar, draped in cuirass and paludamentum, facing right and seen from the front. The portrait presents the prince in military attire befitting his status as heir, with close-cropped hair rendered in typical Antonine style. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the figure as Marcus Aurelius Commodus Caesar. |

| Reverse description | Zeus enthroned to the left, depicted as a majestic seated deity in the classical Pheidian tradition. In his extended right hand he holds a small Nike (Victory), and in his left hand a long vertical sceptre. The god is shown semi-draped, his muscular torso partially exposed. The encircling Greek legend across the field and periphery records the name of the strategus Claudius Nikomedes and proclaims Pergamum's double neokorate status. |
