| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, portrayed from the rear in the three-quarter view characteristic of mid-third-century provincial coinage. The radiate crown consists of pointed rays, and the cuirass is detailed with incised decoration. A paludamentum (military cloak) is visible over the left shoulder. The legend encircles the effigy within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

Nicomedia held the title of neokoros — official keeper of an imperial cult temple — twice over, a distinction reflected in the ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ legend. The city lobbied aggressively for these honors under the Severans, and their retention into the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus was a point of civic pride actively advertised on local bronze issues. Provincial mints like Nicomedia ceased production almost entirely by 268 under Gallienus's currency reforms, making the window for this type narrow.
