| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian facing right, portrayed with characteristic imperial dignity. The radiate crown, composed of pointed rays, frames the emperor's effigy, while the paludamentum and cuirass are rendered in low relief with visible drapery folds at the shoulder. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the Bithynian mint at Nicaea during the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |
