| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trebonianus Gallus facing right, portrayed in three-quarter rear view, the radiate crown rendered with pointed rays. The effigy displays the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and visible cuirass detailing, consistent with the military presentation typical of mid-3rd century Phrygian provincial bronze coinage. The obverse legend, partially visible around the periphery of the somewhat irregularly struck flan, reads ΑΥΤ Κ Γ ΟΥΙΒ ΤΡΕΒ ΓΑΛΛΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a civic mythological scene of the eponymous founding heroes of Acmonea: the hero Akmôn and his brother Doias, both depicted standing, facing, and holding spears in their outer hands while joining their right hands at the center in a gesture of fraternal concordia. Between the two figures, a flying eagle appears in the upper field, symbolizing divine favor, while a lighted altar occupies the lower central field between them. The composition reflects the strong local civic pride characteristic of Phrygian colonial coinage under the High Empire. The ethnic legend ΑΚΜΟΝΕΩΝ curves around the reverse field, identifying the issuing city. |
