| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, rendered from a rear three-quarter perspective, emphasizing the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and the military cuirass beneath. The portrait is encircled by a dotted border, with the imperial titulature legend distributed around the periphery of the flan. The style is consistent with Roman provincial workshop production of the mid-third century AD. |

| Reverse description | A Capricorn, the legendary zodiacal emblem of Augustus and emblem of the Julian colony, strides rightward upon a raised platform or base, clutching a globe between its forelegs; a star appears above in the upper field. The reverse legend, distributed around the field in two lines below the platform, records the colonial title of Parium. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border, with the rendering typical of Mysiан provincial issues of the Gallienic period. |
