| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, depicted from behind, showing the rear of the cuirass with paludamentum draped over the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of Asia Minor under the mid-third century Roman Empire. A Greek imperial legend encircles the portrait in the field, abbreviated to denote the emperor's full titulature. |

| Reverse description | A circular laurel wreath occupies the central field, its branches tied at the base, enclosing two clasped right hands (dextrarum iunctio), a symbol of concordia and civic alliance. The wreath is depicted in fine relief typical of provincial Phrygian bronzes. The encircling Greek legend in the exergual and peripheral field identifies the issuing civic authority and the festival or institution honoured. |
