| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Trebonianus Gallus facing right, portrayed three-quarter from the rear, with the radiate crown clearly visible above the portrait. The emperor's paludamentum is fastened at the shoulder, and the cuirass is rendered in relief detail. The Greek imperial titulature encircles the bust as a peripheral legend in the field. |

| Reverse description | Sarapis enthroned to left, wearing a modius (kalathos) upon his head, his right arm outstretched over Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, who is seated at his feet. In his left hand Sarapis holds a long sceptre. The composition reflects the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian cult of Sarapis, widely venerated in Bithynian civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field to the left. |
