Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié avec ce type d’erreur au revers, un troisième consulat pour Commode qu’il ne prendra que l’année suivante. C’est la dernière émission pour Commode associé à son père avant le décès de ce dernier le 17 mars.
Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted with this type of error on the reverse, a third consulship for Commodus that he would not take until the following year. This is the last issue for Commodus associated with his father before the latter's death on March 17

Historical background
COMMODUS
(166-31/12/192)
Augustus with Marcus Aurelius
Commodus was born in the purple on August 31, 161. Son of Marcus Aurelius and young Faustina, his twin brother died very early, in 165 or 166. He received the title of Caesar on this date but he was not really associated with power. only at the time of the revolt of Avidius Cassius in 175, after the death of Faustina Young in Cappadocia. For the first time since Nerva, the emperor did not choose his successor by adoption, but raised his own offspring to the Augustate. Commode, associated with the Empire from 176-177, will succeed his father in 180.
