Licinius Cornelius Saloninus Valerianus) facing right, portrayed from a rear three-quarter perspective, as was conventional for junior co-emperors on provincial bronze coinage of this period. The effigy shows the prince in military attire with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend naming the Caesar frames the bust within the field.

Reverse description Demeter, the goddess of grain and agriculture, depicted standing to the left in long chiton and himation, holding a long torch or sceptre in her raised left hand and a bundle of corn ears in her right hand. The figure is rendered in the typical provincial style of Carian civic bronzes, with the ethnic legend of the issuing city inscribed in the field. The reverse type reflects the agricultural significance of the Meander valley region and the city's devotion to this deity.
