PAMPHYLIA, Sillyum. Valerian II. Caesar, AD 256-258. Medallic Æ 10 Assaria (39.5mm, 38.90 g, 7h). AV KAI ΠO ΛI OVAΛЄPIAN-O-N ЄV, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right; I in right field / CIΛ-ΛV-ЄΩN, Mên on horseback to left. SNG BN 1011 (same dies); Falghera 2527 (same dies; Valerian I). Good VF, green patina, traces of grayish base metal wash on obverse. Very rare.

Bought from David Miller, 2005. Ex Triton IV (5 December 2000), lot 365.

While this coin has the mark of value of 10 assaria, it is considerably larger and heavier than others of the same denomination, and was probably not intended to circulate.
