| Obverse lettering | Α Κ ΠΟ ΛΙΚΙ ΟΥΑΛΕΡΙΑΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Publius Licinius Valerianus) |
| Reverse description | A naked youth stands facing right, identified as a heroic or divine equestrian figure in the local Cymean tradition, grasping the bridle of a horse with his left hand while holding an upright spear in his right. The composition is typical of provincial reverse types celebrating local mythological or civic pride, with the figures rendered in a sturdy, somewhat summary provincial style. The reverse field is plain, with no exergual line or additional symbols. The encircling Greek legend names the local magistrate Aurelius Elpidephoros as neokoros and identifies the issuing city of Cyme. |
