Valerian & Aurelian mint question

[LordBest]

Can anyone tell me which mint this Valerian I antoninianus comes from?

I think it is from Antioch mint, RIC 284, 253 AD.

Thanks Lars. The lack of a star on the reverse threw me as I dont have access to my references at the moment.

Same question for this Aurelian, as far as I know its usually just attributed as "Unattributed mint", has anyone been able to attribute this type to a specific mint?

I think these are assigned to a specific mint, just  that the location of the mint is not certain, but if I read the French correctly, "not far from the mints of Siscia and Serdica".

How very interesting, an unlocated mint. Thanks Steve.

While RIC assigns the Valerian coin to "Asia (Antioch)", Göbl says Samosata.  Coins of this mint nearly always feature reverses with two figures, and a reverse with two figures on an eastern issue of this family is almost diagnostic for Samosata.
