Commodus, AE 177-192
AE 22, 5.66g, 21.8mm, 15°
obv. AVT KAI M AVR-H KOMODOC
Laureate head r.
rev. NEIKOPOLE-I-TWN PROC ICTRON
Nike in girdled double chiton, on globe stg. l., holding in raised r. hand wreath; without
palmbranch in l. field
ref. a) not in AMNG
b) not in Varbanov
c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2020) No. 8.10.9.1 var. (plate coin, same rev., but with palmbranch in l. field)
probably unpublished
VF, brown patina

A possible explanation:
Because of its style this coin is a bit doubtful. On most specimens of this type the palmbranch in l. field is barely visible. So it is possible that the forger has not seen it!
