| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Salonina facing right, set upon a crescent, with hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape in the characteristic Gallienic court style. The imperial effigy is rendered in medium relief typical of provincial Lydian bronze coinage. A circular Greek legend frames the bust in the field. The coin bears a post-antique piercing hole at the lower edge, indicating secondary use as a pendant or ornament. |

| Reverse description | Homonoia type depicting Heracles standing right, nude but for a lion's skin draped over his left forearm, holding his club upright in his right hand, facing Dionysus who stands left holding a thyrsus in his left hand and extending a cantharus over a panther crouching at his feet. The two deities, representing the divine patrons of the allied cities of Bagis and Temenothyrae, are shown in a confronted composition symbolic of civic concordance. A multi-line Greek legend in the field and around the periphery identifies the issuing communities. |
