| Reverse description | Laureate head of the Roman Emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the Roman imperial portrait style, demonstrating the Bosporan Kingdom's political deference to Rome. To the right of the portrait, a spear or star appears depending on die variant, serving as a distinguishing mark among the issues of regnal year 477. The partial date legend ΖΟΥ appears in the lower field, representing Bosporan era year 477, corresponding to 181 AD. The reverse portrait closely follows contemporary Roman imperial coin types of Commodus. |
