| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Valerianus I facing right, portrayed with the radiate crown denoting his imperial status, the paludamentum visible over the cuirass. The bust is rendered in a frontal three-quarter perspective typical of mid-third century provincial coinage. A circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy within the coin's border. |

| Reverse description | An agonistic prize crown, depicted with a palm frond rising from its center, rests upon a three-legged table with ornately decorated legs terminating in ball-and-claw feet. The table design is characteristic of the agonistic coinage issued by Anazarbus in Cilicia, celebrating the city's prestigious games. The circular Greek legend distributed around the field identifies the city and provides the regnal era date. The composition is contained within a dotted border. |
