| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic back-bust style employed in Thessalian provincial coinage of the mid-third century AD. The radiate crown projects prominently above the head, while the muscled cuirass is visible across the shoulders. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor with his full titulature. The flan is irregularly shaped and the surfaces display heavy patination consistent with prolonged circulation and burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Koinon of Thessaly — a federal league revived under Roman provincial administration — retained the right to strike bronze coinage through much of the imperial period, a privilege that carried more symbolic than economic weight by the third century. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, which began in 253, was the last period during which the Koinon issued coins under co-emperors, and provincial minting across much of Greece effectively ceased within a generation as the so-called "crisis of the third century" collapsed the infrastructure supporting it.
The Δ in the legend denotes a magistrate's initial rather than a denomination, a convention specific to Thessalian federal coinage.
