| Obverse description | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, depicted from behind with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder, rendered in the provincial style typical of Troas civic coinage. The emperor's effigy displays youthful features with a prominent radiate crown and layered drapery. The surrounding legend runs clockwise along the coin's border in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing with wings spread and head turned to the right, grasping a bull's head in its talons — a well-known emblem associated with the colonial coinage of Alexandria Troas. The bird is rendered in high relief with detailed feathering, its powerful stance filling the central field. The colonial legend encircles the type, divided on either side of the eagle, identifying the issuing city. |
