| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic provincial style. The effigy presents the emperor in full military attire, with the laurel wreath, paludamentum, and cuirass rendered in low relief. The surrounding legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The surface exhibits the typical patination of a provincial bronze issue struck at Parium during the sole reign. |

| Additional information |
Parium, a Roman colony on the southern Marmara coast, retained the right to strike provincial bronze well into the third century — a privilege that grew administratively awkward as Gallienus consolidated authority following his father Valerian's capture by Shapur I in 260 AD. The colony's coins from the sole reign period reflect a mint operating under the Conventus of Adramyteum, a judicial district whose administrative reach across the Troad gave it oversight of several issuing cities simultaneously.
The reference X#62073 places this outside the standard RPC sequence, suggesting a type identified after the main corpus was established.
