    Hi all!

    I recently bought this coin in a large lot on eBay. It is the reason why I bought the lot

    It seems to be a very poor condition antoninianus of Victorinus. However, the reverse, FORTVNA AVG, is extremely rare. I can only find one other example in my research (in much better condition). There are no examples listed on acsearch or OCRE

    Might my coin be barbarous, or could it be an official issue? The obverse (at least what can be seen) is of good style, as is the reverse.

    I am sure there are experts in Gallic coinage here that know much more about this than me lol.

    Also, any ideas what I should do about the obverse?

    Thanks!

    Not official, irregular coinage like this specimen from the Cunetio hoard, but still an interesting coin !
