| Obverse description | Youthful cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Commodus as Caesar, laureate, facing right and presented three-quarter from the front. The portrait reflects the early imagery of Commodus prior to his elevation as Augustus, rendered in the provincial Greek die-cutting style characteristic of Lydian civic coinage. The obverse legend is inscribed in Greek majuscules around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Two deities disposed within the field: to the left, a standing female figure — identified as Tyche or Kore — facing right, holding a patera in her extended hand and a long sceptre; to the right, Zeus Larasios, the principal civic deity of Tralles, seated on a throne facing left, holding Nike aloft in his right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The composition reflects the standard civic iconography of Tralles, with the magistrate's name and civic ethnic inscribed in the exergue and field in Greek majuscules. |
