| Obverse description | Draped bust of Salonina (Chrysogone Augusta) facing right, wearing a stephane or diadem, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Asia Minor civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The portrait is presented in moderate relief with visible drapery folds at the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The effigy follows the standard iconographic conventions of Gallienian-era imperial women on eastern provincial issues. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in full figure, wearing a mural crown and long robes. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, the standard attributes of the city's tutelary deity on Milesian civic bronzes. The figure is rendered in a dynamic pose with visible drapery, consistent with the provincial workshop style of the Milesians under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. The encircling Greek legend names the supervising magistrate and the issuing city. |
