You beat me to it, @Clavdivs ! I was going to post this great little coin of Caracalla showing a galley reverse which I recently won at auction...
Likely a limes denarius?
I liked the 1809 Guadeloupe sou that was overstruck on an As of Hadrian (Lot 674). We have had numerous threads about ancient coinage which was...
Here's an obvious fake from the rather rare Magna Grecian city of Hyria/Orra in Calabria. I was able to later remove the verdigris (these are the...
Here are a ton of semis fakes from Brundisium, each with a different patina but with exactly the same obverse and reverse. I bought one of these...

Sear says a misinterpreted text seemed to suggest he only reigned two or three days. Most sources seem to indicate that his rule was from...
Two different coins - as others have said, the numbers are different. I would check the listing you won and confirm that the coin in the pictures...

It was minted during Gallienus' third consulate, in AD 257. It celebrates the victories of Gallienus on the Rhine. The reverse shows a statue of...
