| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, with short curled beard and paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The emperor's effigy is depicted in typical Alexandrian provincial style, with bold, slightly coarse workmanship characteristic of mid-third-century Egyptian tetradrachms. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the emperor with his titles. |
