| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena, the divine patron deity, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. In her left hand she holds an upright spear, while her right hand rests upon a large round shield set at her side. The figure is rendered in the classical Greek tradition, conveying civic and martial authority befitting the free city of Amisus. The Greek legend in the field identifies the issuing city and its cherished status of autonomy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amisus held the status of a free city — *eleuthera* — under Roman administration, a privilege that allowed it to strike its own civic bronze independently of the provincial mint system. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, father and son ruling simultaneously from 253, was marked almost immediately by military catastrophe on every frontier; Valerian was captured by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260, ending the co-regency and likely terminating this issue's production at the same moment.
