| Obverse description | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of the emperor Valerian facing right, depicted from behind in three-quarter rear view, conveying a sense of martial authority. The radiate crown projects prominently from the head, while the paludamentum and cuirass are rendered in characteristic provincial style. The circumferential Greek legend occupies the full border of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |
