| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, viewed from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy displays characteristic third-century Roman provincial portrait style, with a radiate laurel wreath crowning the head. The surrounding field carries the Latin legend IMP C GALLIENVS AVG, partially legible around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | An arched shrine or aedicula supported by two columns with a curved canopy, enclosing a standing figure of Nemesis facing left, holding a globe in her right hand and a cubit rule (ell) in her left. To the left of the shrine, a griffin is depicted; to the right, a wheel and a star appear in the field. These attributes are consistent with the cult iconography of Nemesis as worshipped in Pontic Sinope. The colonial Latin legend C I F S AN CCCXXX surrounds the design, recording the city's colonial status and regnal year. |
