| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, portrayed with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder, the bust presented three-quarter from the rear in the characteristic provincial style. The laureate wreath is rendered with fine detail atop the imperial effigy. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait exhibits the compact, slightly schematic workmanship typical of the Aeolian mint at Cyme during the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyme, one of the oldest Aeolian settlements on the western Anatolian coast, retained the right to strike civic bronze under Roman rule well into the third century. The co-regency of Valerian and Gallienus — father and son ruling jointly after 253 — prompted many cities in the Smyrna conventus to issue coins honoring both emperors simultaneously, a deliberate display of dynastic continuity at a moment when the empire was fracturing under plague, invasion, and internal revolt. The magistrate name preserved in this issue, Elpidephoros, ties the coin to a specific administrative moment otherwise lost to the record.
