| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trebonianus Gallus facing right, viewed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and pteryges at the arm. The portrait is rendered in a robust, late Severan-influenced style with a short beard. The Greek imperial legend encircles the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple enclosing Apollo Klarios seated left, holding a branch; beneath the temple, a humped bull stands before a lighted altar. In the foreground, thirteen personifications of the Ionian League cities are arranged in a semi-circle, each standing and raising the right hand while holding a wreath, symbolising the unity of the Koinon of Ionia. The extensive Greek legend is distributed around the field and exergue, naming the presiding priest Kallistos and the city of Kolophon as host of the league. |
