| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, depicted from the rear in the so-called back-view bust type characteristic of provincial coinage of this period. The paludamentum and scale armour are rendered with careful detail. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery, with the numeral B (2) visible in the field to the right of the bust, likely denoting a second issue or magistracy year. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥ ΚΑΙ ΠΟ ΛΙ ΓΑΛΛΙΗΝΟϹ, Β (Translation: Emperor Caesar Publius Licinius Gallienus, 2) |
| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in full figure, draped in a long chiton and himation. She holds a ship's rudder resting on a globe in her right hand, symbolising guidance and destiny, and cradles a cornucopia in her left arm, denoting abundance. The reverse legend naming the local archon Iason Silbos and the civic ethnikon of the Tabaeans runs around the upper and outer field within a beaded border. |
