| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Pergamene mint during the mid-third century AD. The emperor's effigy displays a laurel wreath, a paludamentum draped over the left shoulder, and cuirass detailing visible at the truncation. The peripheral legend in Greek characters encircles the bust, identifying the ruler by his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Two Kabeiroi (?) standing face-to-face at centre, each figure depicted in full length, jointly holding a ram's head above a low altar positioned between them. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography associated with the mystery cults of the Pergamene region. A lengthy Greek legend in two registers surrounds the type, referencing the local magistrate and the city's prestigious triple neocorate status. The reverse field and exergue area carry the concluding elements of the civic inscription. |
