| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian facing right, viewed from behind, with elaborate drapery folds rendered in the provincial style. The radiate crown with pointed rays frames the imperial portrait, which displays a short beard consistent with mid-third-century Roman iconography. The circular legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, reading in Greek characters around the periphery of the field. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ ΠΟ ΛΙΚΙΝΙΟϹ ΒΑΛΕΡΙΑΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Publius Licinius Valerian) |
| Reverse description | The sun god Helios drives a quadriga at full gallop to the left, depicted in a dynamic composition with the horses rendered in vigorous motion and the chariot wheel clearly visible in the lower right field. Helios is shown with outstretched arms holding the reins, his radiate head turned toward the viewer, conveying divine solar power in the tradition of provincial Anatolian coinage. The legend is distributed around the periphery within a beaded border, with the abbreviated ethnic ΚΕΝΤ appearing in the upper field above the quadriga. |
