| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter back view typical of provincial Phrygian coinage of this period. The imperial effigy displays the laurel wreath, military cuirass with visible pteryges, and draped paludamentum over the left shoulder. The encircling Greek legend identifying the emperor runs along the periphery of the flan. The striking is bold despite the irregular planchet, consistent with local Acmonean workshop production. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of Fortune and civic patroness of Acmonea, depicted standing facing left in full figure, robed in a long chiton and himation. She holds a steering rudder in her right hand, symbolising guidance and destiny, and a cornucopia (horn of plenty) in her left arm, emblematic of civic prosperity. The ethnic legend of the city encircles the field, and a dotted border frames the design. The type reflects the standard civic reverse iconography widely employed by Phrygian cities under the Roman Provincial coinage system. |
