| Obverse description | Laureate, veiled, and draped bust of Boule facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The veil falls in heavy folds over the shoulders, and the laurel wreath is visible atop the head. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΑ ΒΟΥΛΗ (Sacred Council) is inscribed in the field surrounding the bust, identifying the personification of the city's deliberative assembly. |

| Additional information |
Aemilian's reign lasted roughly three months in 253 AD before his own troops killed him in favor of Valerian. Provincial mints across Asia Minor had barely enough time to produce issues in his name, making any surviving bronze from Iulia — a small city in the Synnada conventus of Phrygia — genuinely scarce by the accident of political murder rather than any deliberate curtailment of production.
