| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Volusian facing right, seen from the front, with the left arm of the cuirass raised. The portrait follows the provincial convention for junior imperial co-rulers, rendered in the typical Asia Minor workshop style of the mid-third century AD. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters within the field. |

| Reverse description | Apollo standing facing right, radiate head crowned with rays, clad in a long chiton, holding a plectrum in his right hand and a large lyre cradled against his left side. The figure is rendered in a static, frontal-leaning provincial style characteristic of Lydian civic coinage of the third century AD. The Greek civic legend encircles the type in the field, identifying the issuing city, the presiding magistrate, and the ethnic designation of the Macedonian colonists. |
