Commodus, AD 177-192

obv. AVT KAI M AVR - H KOMODOC

rev. NEIKOPOLE - ITWN PROC ICTRON
Nike in long double chiton, stg. l. on globe, holding wreath in raised r. hand; in l. field long

b) not in Varbanov (engl.)
c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (20120) No. 8.10.9.1 #1 (plate coin)

This is the best preserved coin of this scarce type. All others are incorrectly described, because the palm branch in the l. field is not visible. Altogether an unusual depiction.
