| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the emperor Gallienus facing right, depicted from a rear three-quarter perspective, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters. The die work is characteristic of the provincial bronze coinage of Heraclea Pontica during the sole reign period, with the portrait rendered in the typical idiom of mid-third-century Asia Minor civic issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica was among the older Greek colonies on the Black Sea coast, and by the time of Gallienus's sole reign it had long held neokoros status — the honorific title granted to cities designated as official keepers of an imperial cult temple. The garbled legend ΗΡΑΚΛΙΗΩΝ rather than the standard ΗΡΑΚΛΕΩΤΩΝ suggests either a die-cutter working from dictation or a provincial workshop operating without close editorial oversight, a situation increasingly common as central authority fragmented during the Crisis of the Third Century.
