| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, a presentation style characteristic of later Roman provincial coinage. The imperial effigy displays the laureate wreath atop the head, with visible drapery over the shoulder and cuirass detailing. The obverse legend runs along the outer border in Latin characters. The flan is irregular, typical of provincial bronze issues struck under hammer technique during the sole reign period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — formally Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troas — whose civic bronze coinage persisted well into the third century precisely because the city retained colonial status and the right to mint. Under Gallienus's sole reign, after Valerian's capture by Shapur I at Edessa in 260, the eastern provinces were left to manage their own affairs with limited imperial oversight, and local civic issues like this one filled the gap left by disrupted central supply.
The abbreviated legends referencing the colony's consular or tribal designations are notoriously difficult to resolve, which explains the queried attribution in the type designation itself.
