| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, depicted from the front with military dress. The obverse legend ΓΑΛΛΙΗΝΟΝ ΑΥΓΟΥ (for Gallienus Augustus) runs around the periphery of the field in Greek script. The portrait displays the characteristic late Roman provincial style of the sole reign period (260–268 AD). The coin's heavy patination partially obscures the finer details of the imperial effigy. |
