| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of fortune and civic prosperity, is depicted seated left upon a high-backed throne, her figure draped in flowing robes rendered with careful linear detail. In her extended right hand she holds a small Nike (Victory), and in her left she carries a cornucopia (horn of plenty), symbolising abundance. The ethnic legend ΛΑΕΡΤΕΙΤΩΝ encircles the field, identifying the issuing city of Laertes. The composition closely follows standard iconographic conventions for civic Tyche types on provincial bronzes of the Valerianic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Laertes was a minor Pamphylian hill town of little strategic consequence, yet its civic mint produced bronze issues under the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus — a pairing that lasted only until 260 AD, when Valerian was captured by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa, the first Roman emperor ever taken prisoner in the field. The capture effectively ended the joint authority and terminated this coin type's issuing period with unusual precision.
Provincial bronzes from Lycia et Pamphylia struck under this co-regency are dateable to a narrow seven-year window, which aids attribution considerably for a mint whose output was modest.
