| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, depicted in three-quarter view from the front, with the radiate crown rendered in typical mid-third-century provincial style. The surrounding field carries a Greek imperial titulature legend. The flan is irregular, consistent with provincial hammered bronze coinage of Bithynia under joint rule. |
