Valerian I. AD 253-260. Ӕ Sestertius (25mm, 12.28 g, 12h). Rome mint. 1st issue, AD 253-254. IMP [C P L]IC VALERIANVS AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / VI[CT]ORIA AVGG, Victory walking right, holding wreath and palm. MIR 36, 32g; RIC V 177. VF, dark green patina, light cleaning scratches.

Ex Leu Numismatik Web Auction 1 (25 June 2017), lot 1189.

MIR records 4 specimens of this coin, all apparently from the same reverse die. This seems likely to be a re-used and recut die of Aemilian (RIC 52), with a second G rather uncomfortably added at the end of the legend.
