<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2747349, member: 75937&quot;]One of the more interesting Gallienus coins in my collection is this one, which combines a portrait of the emperor with a reverse type used almost exclusively on coins of an empress. It&#039;s also interesting to see how debased the metal had become and how shoddy the workmanship at the mint was at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]628389[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gallienus, AD 253-268</p><p>Roman billon antoninianus; 2.67 g, 18.9 mm, 1:00</p><p>Rome, AD 265-267</p><p>Obv: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate head right</p><p>Rev: FECVNDITAS AVG, Fecunditas standing left, holding cornucopiae and extending hand to child</p><p>Refs: RIC 184; Cohen 179; Göbl-0579a[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
