| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Salonina facing right, diademed and set upon a crescent, her elaborately coiffed hair rendered in fine detail. The imperial effigy is depicted in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The encircling Greek legend names the empress with her Augusta title. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of fortune and civic prosperity, stands facing left in full figure, clad in a long chiton and himation. She holds a ship's rudder downward in her right hand, symbolising guidance and safe navigation, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The encircling legend proclaims the civic status of Cyzicus as a twice-honoured neocorate city. |
