| Obverse description | Youthful bare-headed bust of Commodus, as Caesar, draped in cuirass and paludamentum, facing right, depicted in three-quarter frontal view. The portrait captures the prince's adolescent features, consistent with his representation during his co-reign with Marcus Aurelius. The Greek legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying the subject as Marcus Aurelius Caesar Commodus. |

The horses are depicted in full gallop, their forelegs raised. The spoked wheel of the biga is visible at lower left. The encircling Greek legend in the exergual area and around the field references the neokoros status of Pergamum and the name of the magistrate Nikomedes. |
