| Obverse description | Bare, diademed head of Demos (the personification of the civic community) facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The portrait is set within a circular field with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The coin exhibits heavy green patination with areas of surface encrustation obscuring fine detail. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the tutelary deity of the city, depicted standing to the left in long chiton and himation, holding a ship's rudder downward in her right hand and a cornucopia (horn of plenty) in her left arm, symbolising fortune and civic prosperity. The civic ethnic legend of the Acmoneans is disposed around the field in Greek characters. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial idiom common to the Phrygian conventus under Gallienus. |
