| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian to right, portrayed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass articulated in relief. The imperial effigy occupies the central field, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of mid-third-century Ionian coinage. A circular Greek legend runs along the beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |
