| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Saloninus (P. Licinius Cornelius Saloninus Valerianus) facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter perspective favoured by Bithynian provincial engravers. The youthful effigy displays a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and visible cuirass detailing. The encircling Greek legend reads ϹΑΛΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ ΟΥΑΛΕΡΙΑΝΟϹ Κ, identifying the prince as Caesar, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Zeus depicted standing to the left, his semi-draped figure rendered in the classical tradition of Bithynian civic coinage. In his extended right hand he holds a patera for libation, while his left hand rests upon a tall vertical sceptre. An eagle stands at his feet to the left, a common attribute of Zeus in Asia Minor provincial issues. The ethnic legend ΤΙΑΝΩΝ, identifying the mint city of Tium, appears in the field or exergue, attesting to civic pride in this Pontic coastal community. |
