| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Volusian facing right, portrayed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Lydian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The overall die work reflects the competent but somewhat rustic engraving characteristic of the Blaundus mint. |
