| Obverse description | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, seen from the front, with the radiate crown prominently rendered and the paludamentum visible over the cuirass. The effigy is set within a dotted border, with the Imperial titulature legend distributed around the bust in Greek characters. The portrait exhibits the characteristic style of provincial bronze coinage from Bithynia, with bold, slightly crude relief typical of local civic mint production. |

| Reverse description | The lunar deity Mên stands facing left, wearing a Phrygian cap with a crescent set behind his shoulders, his right hand holding a pine cone and his left hand supporting a long sceptre. The figure is rendered in the local provincial style within a dotted border, with the civic ethnic legend distributed in the field around the deity. The reverse composition reflects the strong local veneration of Mên in the Bithynian civic context. |
