| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian facing right, presented in three-quarter frontal view, rendered in the provincial military portrait style characteristic of mid-third-century Asia Minor coinage. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the cuirass, conveying imperial military authority. A Greek legend surrounds the effigy along the periphery, identifying the ruler by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the relief moderate, consistent with provincial hammered bronze production. |
