| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, portrayed from a rear three-quarter perspective, a convention characteristic of mid-third-century provincial coinage. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical military style of the period, with the laurel wreath clearly distinguishing the emperor's rank. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP LIC VALERIANVS AVG, identifying the issuer as Publius Licinius Valerianus Augustus. The flan is irregular and shows significant patination and wear consistent with extensive circulation. A piercing hole is visible at the lower left, indicating the coin was later used as a pendant or amulet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — Colonia Augusta Troas — founded by Augustus from the remnants of Antigonus's earlier settlement, and it retained its colonial coinage privileges well into the third century. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus represents the last phase of the city's bronze output; provincial coinage in the region collapsed almost entirely after 260, when Valerian's catastrophic capture by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa destabilized mint operations across the eastern provinces.
