    I have seen the image on the reverse of this coin before but I cannot remember where. Can anyone help, please?

    AE18 mm - 2.33 gm

    Yes, Pax, like this example from acsearch; though your bust type looks different.

    That appears to be a left-facing bust.

    it is right facing, but looks like it might be a radiate head only, versus the radiate and cuirassed bust that I posted.

    Do I see IMP on the bottom left obverse legend? Followed by a G or C?

    And the bust portrait reminds me more of Claudius II than Gallienus. PAX AVGVST I reverse?

    I am leaning away from Gallienus because I am unable to find a radiate Gallienus bust (R) with an IMP C (or G) legend.

    Also, I am now 'tossing up' between PAX and SOL for the reverse.

    Agreed?
