| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Salonina (Cornelia Salonina Augusta), diademed, facing right, with hair elaborately waved and coiffed in the fashion typical of the Gallienic period. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage, with visible drapery folds at the shoulder. The circular Greek legend surrounds the bust along the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Draped and turreted bust of Tyche, the city goddess of Heraclea Pontica, facing right, wearing a mural crown (kalathos) atop her head as a symbol of her role as civic protectress. The drapery is rendered in typical provincial style. The encircling Greek legend proclaims the neocorate status of Heraclea Pontica, a civic honor granted by Rome recognizing the city as a keeper of an imperial cult temple. |
