| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valens facing right, depicted in the imperial military tradition with the diadem rendered as a string of pearls. The emperor's effigy is shown with paludamentum visible at the shoulder, and the legend encircles the bust. The portrait conveys the standard late Roman imperial type established under the Valentinianic dynasty. |
