| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Volusian facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The emperor's youthful portrait features close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath, with finely articulated drapery folds across the chest. The Latin legend encircles the bust along the rim of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A horse grazes to the right in the central field, its head lowered toward the ground in a naturalistic pose characteristic of Alexandrian Troas coinage. Behind the horse stands a herdsman, identified as Ordes, facing right and holding a pedum (shepherd's crook) in his right hand. The colonial mint abbreviation appears in the exergue and field, referencing the Colonia Augusta of Alexandria Troas. This reverse type alludes to the famous wild horses of the Troad, a well-established civic emblem of the colony. |
