Trebonianus Gallus

Found this waiting for me when I got off work today I've wanted, but did not actively seek, a coin of Trebonianus Gallus for a while now. I finally found a cheap on I liked. The flow lines on the rev. make for an interesting style too.

I do think the reverse is interesting, makes Pietas look like a ghost or something.

 

Read my mind.

 

Very nice and interesting, it looks like the reverse is in foil/(plated)
great looking coin

 

randygeki => congrats on the new T-Bone Gallus (it's a winner)

I have a humble example (please forgive my stevex6 photo-effort)



I always think it looks like PAX is painting a beautiful green mural on the reverse

 

Nice coin Randy! I like these 3rd century coins and have a Treb Gallus but cannot find the pics. Cool metal flow lines!

 

Neat addition Randy, Glad you got one of him.

 

Nice! I don´t have too many Antoniniani, so is my Gallus Sestertius instead:

 

Good one @randygeki ! Very nice! I always like it when the metal flow made them look like a shimmering ghost!

Mine is pretty rough... lost its silver!

Thanks and great coins all. The flow lines on mine also kind of remind of a scene from 300.

 

Nice scary score Randy !
