Hello all, I recently acquired this coin, I think it looks legit, and I trust the dealer, but I'd be very grateful to hear if you think it is genuine, many thanks in advance

Help-Verifying-A-Valerian-253-260-Coin

Billon Silver Antoninianus 20mm (4.06 grams) struck circa 256-260 A.D.
Reference: RIC 287
IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Valerian I right.
RESTITVT ORIE-NTIS, the Orient, turreted, standing right, presenting wreath to the emperor, standing facing, head left, holding scepter.

The reverse legend, RESTITVT ORIENTIS, proclaims Valerian I as the restorer of the East, with the type echoing the sentiment by showing the figure of a turreted and draped female (the Orient) presenting him with a wreath.
