| Obverse description | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, depicted from behind (rear view), with the radiate crown clearly rendered and the folds of the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy occupies the central field, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Lydian conventus. A Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery, naming the emperor in the nominative. |

| Reverse description | The lunar deity Mên depicted on horseback, riding to the right, wearing a Phrygian cap and with a double axe (labrys) resting over the shoulder; the horse is shown in animated stride above a ground line. The composition reflects the strong local veneration of Mên in the Lydian region. A Greek dedicatory legend naming the local magistrate and the civic community runs around the upper and lower fields. |
