    Only have one Victorinus, which I goy in a multiple lot of 25 coins:

    AE Antoninianus
    18 x 20 mm; 2.3 g
    Southern Gallic mint, Treveri, 269 – 271 AD, 5th issue
    RIC V, 71; RCS 3170; DVM 12/2; Sear 11181; Cohen 118; Cunetio 2552; Elmer 697; Mairat 637;

    Ob.: IMP C VICTORINVS (PF) AVG Radiate, draped & cuirassed bust of Victorinus to r.
    Rev.: (SAL)VS AVG Salus, standing left, l. hand with an extra-long finger placed delicately on the scepter and patera in r. hand, feeding snake coiled around altar

    Victorinus maintained the weight and purity of the Imperium Galliarum gold aureus coins, but the silvered bronze coinage continued its decline, down to 2.5% silver or less.

    Two different type featuring Salus can be found for Victorinus. The first one is from the Treveri mint, last issue (5th) from 271 AD. The goddess is standing, holding a patera and a scepter, feeding a snake rising from altar. The snake lacks a head; and Salus has an extra-long finger placed delicately on the scepter (Mairat 637). This reverse is new to the Gallic Empire and might be inspired by earlier coins of Claudius II.
    The second example (Mairat 644) is from the mint of Cologne, issue 2 from mid 269-early 270. It introduces a new reverse type for Victorinus: Salus is standing, holding a patera and feeding a serpent in arms. The design was used already under Postumus, and its meaning is probably on the general welfare brought by Victorinus.
