| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Valerian II as Caesar facing right, rendered in three-quarter view seen from the rear, with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and scale armour visible on the cuirass. The effigy is set within a dotted border, with the Greek imperial titulature legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait style is consistent with provincial Lydian civic coinage of the joint reign period, exhibiting the characteristic broad neck and layered drapery of mid-third-century Asia Minor workshops. |

| Reverse description | Heracles standing facing, head turned to the left, portrayed in the canonical heroic nude stance. His right hand rests upon a grounded club, while the Nemean lion skin is draped over his extended left arm. The figure occupies the full height of the reverse field and is framed by the civic magistrate dedication legend disposed around the periphery within a dotted border, naming the strategos Kleoboulos as issuing authority on behalf of the city of Temenothyrae. |
