| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, depicted from the rear in the three-quarter back view typical of mid-3rd century provincial issues. The effigy displays the emperor in full military attire, with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ Κ ΠΟ ΛΙΚ ΟΥΑΛΕΡΙΑΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces exhibit heavy green patination consistent with burial. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, the principal civic deity of Hypaepa, depicted standing and facing right, holding a bow in her extended hand while raising the other hand toward a quiver at her shoulder. A star appears in the field, a common celestial attribute on Hypaepan civic bronzes of this period. The circular Greek legend ΚΟΝΔΙΑΝΟΥ ϹΤΡ ΥΠΑΙΠΗΝΩΝ names the local strategos Condianus as the issuing magistrate and identifies the civic authority of the Hypaepenians. The reverse type underscores the city's close cultic association with Artemis within the conventus of Ephesus. |
