| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing right, seen from the front, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The imperial effigy displays careful modelling of the facial features characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The encircling Greek legend reads in large letters around the bust. |
