| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic provincial style. The effigy presents the emperor in full imperial regalia, with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor in full imperial titulature. The flan is irregular and the surface shows typical patination consistent with a provincial bronze issue struck under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Leto represented in dynamic running pose moving to the right, her robes billowing behind her as she hastens forward bearing a swaddled infant in each arm — the divine twins Apollo and Artemis. This reverse type references the mythological birth of the twin deities at Miletus and reflects the city's strong cultic association with Leto. The Greek magistrate's legend is distributed around the field in two lines, identifying the local archon responsible for the issue. |
