<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 6365557, member: 99554&quot;]Very nice coin and write-up [USER=116315]@Claudius_Gothicus[/USER] . Victorinus is the emperor I&#039;m trying to complete the &quot;full&quot; collection. I just missed a similar example as yours in the Roma auction of last week: estimated at a (very) low price of 50 GBP, it went for 550 GBP ! You have the &quot;<i>radiate head right</i>&quot; version, but it also exists the rarer &quot;<i>radiate and cuirassed</i>&quot;( bust B), rated R4 by H.Joachim Schulzki in his AGK and a &quot;<i>laureate with traces of drapery to front of truncation</i>&quot;. RIC is kind of obsolete for the Gallic Empire rulers, so the latest attribution of your coin should be Mairat 883: (Cunetio 2632, only 1 specimen in the hoard)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1251997[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>About the SALVS AVG version, it is in fact an <i>Hybrid. </i>Others can also be found with the Eagle reverse but the obverse IMP C VICTORINVS PF AVG.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also interesting to notice that the last emission (the 5th) of the mint of Colonia Agrippina was a PROVIDENTIA AVG reverse. It was the only reverse struck there because Victorinus was killed shortly after that.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1252002[/ATTACH]</p><p>Colonia Agrippina 5th emission 271AD</p><p><br /></p><p>And here is also another Consecratio issue in my collection:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1252003[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>DIVO VICTORINO P(I)O / CONSECRATIO</p><p>Mairat 886.
