| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing left, seen from behind with shield visible, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Cyzicene coinage of the mid-third century AD. The effigy presents the emperor in full military attire, emphasizing his martial character during the period of sole reign. The obverse legend runs around the periphery in Greek characters. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Five-line Greek honorific inscription enclosed within a laureate wreath tied at the base, a characteristic reverse type employed by the neocorate city of Cyzicus to honour its local magistrate. The wreath border frames the dedicatory text referencing the strategos and the neocorate status of the city. A pellet or globule appears at the apex of the wreath. The overall composition is typical of civic bronze issues from the Conventus of Cyzicus during the reign of Gallienus. |

Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — multiple times over, and the boast embedded in this coin's reverse inscription reflects civic pride in that accumulated status. The city's loyalty to Rome made it a reliable mint city during the chaos of Gallienus's sole reign, a period defined by the simultaneous breakaway of the Gallic Empire in the west and the Palmyrene sphere in the east. Gallienus never fully recovered Roman territorial coherence, yet provincial bronzes like this one kept circulating as if the empire were intact.
