| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Volusian facing right, depicted from behind (rear view), presenting the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the flan in Latin characters, partially visible due to the irregular strike characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Mythological scene depicting Hercules wrestling with Antaeus, the giant son of Poseidon and Gaia, rendered in the classical tradition. The two struggling figures are shown in vigorous confrontation, with Hercules lifting Antaeus from the ground — the legendary means by which Hercules defeated him, depriving him of his earth-derived strength. The colonial legend COL AVG TROAD appears in the field, identifying the mint city of Colonia Augusta Troadensis. The composition fills the flan with dynamic energy typical of provincial Troadensian bronzes. |
