| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Valerian II facing right, rendered in three-quarter rear view, a presentation typical of mid-third-century provincial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's youthful features with simplified portraiture characteristic of Cilician civic issues. A Greek legend surrounds the bust, reading ΠΟΥ ΛΙΚ ΚΟΡ ΟΥΑΛΕΡΙΑΝΟΝ ΚΑΙϹ, with the letter Γ appearing in the field. The coin exhibits a thick, granular green patina over the bronze flan, consistent with prolonged burial in an Eastern Mediterranean context. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Laertes was a minor Pamphylian hill town that rarely struck its own bronze, making any civic issue from the site uncommon by default. This piece dates to the co-reign of Valerian I and his son Gallienus — a period of exceptional administrative stress, when simultaneous pressure on the Rhine, Danube, and eastern frontiers forced the imperial government to decentralize authority in ways that gave provincial cities unusual latitude in managing local coinage.
Valerian was captured by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260, ending the co-reign abruptly.
