| Obverse description | Radiate or laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing left, holding a spear over the right shoulder and a shield decorated on the left arm. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage, with the obverse legend encircling the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Six-line civic inscription arranged horizontally within a laurel wreath tied at the base, commemorating the strategos and recording the double neocorate status of Cyzicus. The wreath is rendered with fine, naturalistic olive leaves extending around the entire field, enclosing the honorific text in the centre. The design reflects the civic pride of Cyzicus as a twice-neocorate city during the reign of Gallienus. |
