| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, seen from the rear, with the radiate crown rendered in relief above the portrait. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The portrait exhibits the characteristic provincial engraving style of Bithynian civic coinage under the joint reign, with visible paludamentum folds at the shoulder. The field shows natural patination consistent with struck bronze of the mid-third century AD. |
