| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted crown; a thyrsus is visible over the left shoulder. The legend ΤΕΩϹ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Teos. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of mid-third century Ionian civic coinage, with careful attention to the drapery folds at the shoulder. |

| Reverse description | Dionysus stands to the left, tilting a cantharus to pour its contents over a panther at his feet, while holding a thyrsus in his other hand. The composition reflects the god's intimate association with the panther, a standard iconographic pairing in Dionysiac imagery on Ionian civic bronzes. The reverse legend, divided across the field, records the name of the local magistrate (strategos) Pankrates and identifies the issuing community as the Teians. The figures are rendered in a bold, provincial style consistent with the coinage of the Smyrna conventus under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |
