| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing left, depicted from the rear, with the emperor shown carrying a spear over his right shoulder and a shield on his left arm. The obverse legend encircles the imperial effigy, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portraiture reflects the provincial bronze coinage style of the Pergamene mint, with characteristic bold relief typical of Asia Minor civic issues of the mid-third century AD. |

| Reverse description | Heracles recumbent and facing left, resting upon his lion-skin, his right arm supporting a cantharus (wine cup) and his left hand resting upon his club which is propped across his knee. The scene depicts the hero in his characteristic pose of repose, a popular type on Pergamene civic bronze issues. The reverse field is framed by a multi-line magistrate inscription referencing the strategos and asiarch Aurelius Damas, along with the proud civic boast of Pergamum's triple neocorate status. |
