| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Salonina facing right, wearing a stephane (diadem) and elaborately arranged hair. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Cilician bronzes under Valerian and Gallienus. The legend arcs around the bust in Greek characters, with the regnal numeral ΙΑ visible in the lower field. The portrait conveys the imperial dignity of the Augusta within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Ares, the god of war, stands facing right in military attire, wearing a crested helmet and cuirass. He rests a large round shield on the ground with his left hand and holds an upright spear in his right hand. The figure is rendered in a static, frontal-facing stance typical of Cilician provincial coinage of the mid-third century. The ethnic legend ΛΑΕΡΤΕΙΤΩΝ arcs around the field, identifying the issuing city of Laertes. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
