| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Salonina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound with a diadem, the neckline of her garment visible below. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Mysian civic coinage, with the legend partially visible around the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits heavy patination and surface corrosion consistent with extended burial, obscuring fine details of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | The Lupa Romana, the she-wolf of Rome, standing to the right and suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus beneath her. This reverse type alludes to the legendary foundation of Rome and reflects Parium's status as a Roman colony. The colonial mint abbreviation C G I H P (Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana) appears in the field or along the periphery. The design is rendered in bold, if somewhat crude, provincial style, with the flan showing significant corrosion and patination. |
