| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal view, with the cuirass clearly articulated at the shoulder. The imperial effigy is encircled by a Greek legend reading ΑΥΤ Κ ΓΑΛΛΗΝΟϹ ΑΥΓ, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The die-work reflects the provincial engraving style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The flan is irregular, with some edge chipping consistent with the hammered production method. |

| Additional information |
Adramyteum, a coastal city in Mysia, struck provincial bronze during Gallienus's sole reign — the chaotic stretch after his father Valerian was captured by Shapur I in 260 AD and never returned. The magistrate name ΒΙΚΤΟΡΟϹ preserved in the legend is among the few administrative records that survive from the city's civic life during this period.
