| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic provincial style, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and segmented cuirass rendered in relief. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with the Greek imperial titulature legend disposed around the periphery of the field. The portrait exhibits the typical stylized engraving of Asia Minor civic coinage from the mid-third century AD, with bold, slightly coarse die-cutting consistent with the Nysaean mint workshop. |

| Reverse description | Tyche of Nysa depicted standing to the left, wearing a mural crown and long draped garment, holding a cornucopia in her left arm symbolizing the city's prosperity. In her extended right hand she presents a small votive statuette of the deity Mên, shown standing left, wearing the characteristic Phrygian cap with a crescent behind his shoulders, and holding a patera and spear — reflecting the strong local Anatolian religious tradition. The Greek civic legend naming the grammateus Claudius Pollio encircles the reverse field within a beaded border. |
