Very nice coins, gentlemen! I have only one ant of Volusian, but it has a special place in my collection because it was expertly cleaned and conserved by Mat, and I like collecting coins with good provenance.
True, not so many Volusian's coins out there. Nice coins my friends. Bing, yours is outstanding (I have it's sister for Treb. Gallus and they would for sure get on well together). Anyway, the purpose here is to show Volusian. First, is a sestertius I've had for ages and sold last year at Paris coin fair : Volusian, Sestertius minted in Rome, AD 252 IMP CAE C VIB VOLVSIANO AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Volusian right CONCORDIA AVGG, Concordia seated left holding patera and double cornucopiae. S C at exergue 11.85 gr Then, the sestertius I now have in my collection : Volusian, Sestertius minted in Rome, AD 252 IMP CAE C VIB VOLVSIANO AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Volusian right CONCORDIA AVGG, Concordia standing left holding patera and double cornucopiae. S C n field 16.49 gr Ref : RCV # 9784, Cohen # 21 And an antoninianus : Volusian, Antoninianus Minted in Rome in AD 252 IMP CAE C VIB VOLVSIANO AVG, radiate and draped bust of Volusian right IVNONI MARTIALI, Juno seated within a distyle shrine, * in right field 3,60 gr Ref : RCV # 9750, Cohen #45 And....that's all folks !
