| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field depicts two tall flaming torches set upright, each entwined by a serpent rising from the base; between the torches stands a small lighted altar with flames issuing from its top, the whole composition evoking chthonic or mystery-cult iconography associated with the religious prestige of Cyzicus. The Greek magistrate's legend is distributed around the field in two lines, identifying the strategus responsible for the issue and proclaiming the neokorate status of the city. |

Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — multiple times over, a distinction fiercely competed for among the cities of Asia Minor and awarded by the Roman senate. The magistrate name Sosstratos appearing in the legend anchors this piece to a specific civic administration, though the precise year within Valerian and Gallienus's joint reign cannot be narrowed further without die linkage studies.
The joint titulature reflects the unusual co-rule formalized after Valerian's accession in 253, with Gallienus elevated immediately as Augustus rather than Caesar — a constitutional novelty that provincial mints rendered inconsistently across the Greek east before the cessation of civic bronze coinage in the 260s.
