| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, depicted from behind in the so-called rear-view convention typical of certain provincial issues. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the cuirass, and the laureate wreath crowns his head. A Greek imperial legend encircles the bust within the coin's field, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Athena standing left in full figure, clad in helmet and a long chiton with diplois (double fold), extending a patera in her right hand and resting her left arm on a large round shield set on the ground while supporting a spear. The composition is characteristic of the civic coinage of Colophon under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, with a circular Greek legend distributed around the field naming the local strategos responsible for the issue. |
