Macrianus

Finally, I could pick up my first coin of this difficult year. Sorry for the term. The bronze coin was struck under Macrianus, a quite rare usurper. It weighs 17.71 g. and the reverse has 3 standing figures. I couldn't find reference. Thanks for your comments.

It's Valerian, not Macrinus - you can read the legend VALEPIANOC from 12:00 to 5:00 on the obverse

 

As to reference - seems to be this type
Tarsus - three athletes

Thank you very much for this correction. Valerian is also fine.

 

I like that reverse! (Even if it is Valerian )
Here are my two Macrinus (including one with his son, Diadumenian)

 

Oh man...I can't edit my post now... I totally biffed and posted Macrinus vice Macrianus.
Slowing down and reading thoroughly is important, kids...

@7Calbrey I still stand by my statement of loving the reverse of your coin. It is really interesting and not one I've seen before!
