| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, depicted from behind in three-quarter rear view, a presentation style characteristic of certain provincial Greek bronzes of the mid-third century AD. The radiate crown, denoting imperial solar dignity, is visible above the head. The paludamentum (military cloak) and cuirass emphasize the emperor's martial authority. The Greek legend encircles the bust in the obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Koinon of Thessaly — a federal league of Thessalian cities — retained the right to strike provincial bronze under Roman oversight well into the third century, issuing coins in the joint names of co-emperors as a deliberate display of loyalty to whichever pair held power. The Δ on this piece is a series or magistrate mark used to organize production runs, a common administrative device in Thessalian coinage of this period that scholars have not yet fully mapped to specific officinae or mint sequences.
Valerian's capture by Shapur I at Edessa in 260 ended the joint reign and effectively terminated this series.
