| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, portrayed in three-quarter rear view, the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The obverse legend is disposed around the periphery in Greek characters, partially obscured by surface encrustation. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat flat, consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter, the goddess of grain and harvest, stands facing left in full figure, clad in long robes. In her extended right hand she holds a bundle of corn ears, while her left hand grasps a tall torch. The reverse legend ΚΛΑΖΟΜΕΝΙΩΝ encircles the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The type reflects the agricultural importance of the Ionian city and the enduring veneration of Demeter in the region. |

Clazomenae, one of the twelve Ionian cities, had largely exhausted its civic coinage tradition centuries before this issue — the city is far better known numismatically for its archaic electrum coinage than for imperial bronzes. These small civic bronzes struck under the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus belong to the final phase of Greek Imperial coinage in Asia Minor, a practice that collapsed almost entirely by the 260s as the Roman monetary system buckled under military pressure and the breakdown of provincial administration following Valerian's capture by Shapur I at Edessa in 260 AD.
