| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet. The bust is rendered in the local Athenian provincial style, with visible drapery folds across the shoulder and chest. A dotted border surrounds the field. No legend appears on the obverse, consistent with Athenian civic bronze coinage of the Gallienic period. |

Her left arm passes through the strap of a round hoplon shield while her left hand grasps a spear held diagonally; her right arm is extended outward to the right. A serpent rises in the right field, a characteristic Athenian civic symbol. The ethnic legend ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ (of the Athenians) appears in the field. |
