| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter back view employed by several Anatolian mints during the mid-third century. The emperor's paludamentum and cuirass are rendered in low relief, with the laurel wreath visible atop the head. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters. The coin exhibits heavy green and brown patination consistent with prolonged burial, and a small circular piercing is noted below the bust near the lower rim, indicating ancient or post-antique suspension use. |
