| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian facing right, seen from the rear in three-quarter view, with the radiate crown prominently rendered. The emperor's military attire is detailed with paludamentum folds visible at the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the characteristic style of Asia Minor provincial coinage of the mid-third century AD, with bold, somewhat schematic features. |
