| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, portrayed from a rear three-quarter perspective, with the paludamentum visible over the cuirass. The imperial effigy is rendered in the characteristic style of provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. A Latin legend runs around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | A heroic figure, likely a local mythological hero or founder, stands facing right, thrusting a spear downward to slay a boar beneath him. To the right of the composition, a tree rises in the field, providing a naturalistic setting to the scene. The type likely references a local foundation myth or cult legend associated with the colony of Parium. A Latin colonial legend is distributed around the design. |
