Postumus Billon Antoninianus. OBV: IMP C POSTVMVS PF AVG - Radiate bust right. REV: HERC PACIFERO - Hercules standing with club, olive branch, and lion's skin. REF: RIC V-II Lyons 67; de Witte VII, 101; Sear 10946 I've posted this coin many months ago, perhaps some remember it. Now, finally it will be mine. The coin is on it's way here and will arrive assuming all goes well. This coin is a Christmas gift from my mom. This coin will be my first for this year, and the first coin since June 29th, 2013. I really like this coin, can't wait!! Wikipedia copy and paste.
Thanks Bing and VK. Like I said, I can't wait to get it. I'm sure the color won't be right. The guy that sold it to me uses some kind of color effect to give it a greenish-blue tint.
Nice coin. One of my favourite Postumus reverses. "I bring you peace! And if you have a problem with that, my giant club has something to say to you."
Postumus BI Antoninianus, Lyons, 260-269 AD, 2.4g, 22.0mm OBV: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, Radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right. REV: HERC PACIFERO, Hercules standing right, holding olive branch & club. REF: RIC V-II 67, RSC 101, Sear5 10946. I just got this coin in and I'm very happy with it. I'm back to using my scanner, unfortunately. So, the photo is not as good as it is in hand. The color is close but the details could be better.
