| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, depicted from the front with visible paludamentum and scale armour. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Carian civic issues of the mid-third century AD. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, reading ΑΥ ΚΑΙ ΠΟ ΛΙΚΙΝΝΙΟϹ ΟΥΑΛΕΡΙΑΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Elaborate civic scene depicting a bridge spanning a river, upon which a personified river god reclines to the left on a kline, holding a reed in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, symbolising the local waterway's fertility and abundance. To the left of the bridge stands a triple-arched gateway, likely representing the city gate of Antiocheia ad Maeandrum. To the right, a horseman rides rightward, possibly representing the emperor or a local deity. The ethnic legend ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. |
