Obverse: Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right. Inscription: GALLIENVS AVG.

Reverse: VIRTOVS AVGG (Valor of the two Augusti). Features the Emperor standing right, holding a spear, receiving a wreath from a deity (likely Jupiter or Roma).

Special Note: This specific coin features a blundered/phonetic legend (appears to be spelled with an intentional extra letter, e.g., VIRTOVS), a rare and desirable quirk typical of the Eastern Antioch mint where Greek-speaking engravers often phonetically spelled Latin words.
