| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic curly hair beneath a laurel wreath, with visible drapery at the shoulder. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the flan, divided on both sides of the effigy. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of large-module provincial bronze issues of the Antonine period. |
