Ancients; Gallienus

What is the weight and diameter?

The weight is 6.98 gram. I cannot tell you the diameter since the coin is in my bank deposit box. It is definitely larger than a antoninianus but smaller than a for instance a Severus Alexander dupondius.

 

A silvered dupondius ?
Looking like an antoninianus ??
Even though the weight is very high for an antoninianus, I would be curious to reading more about that...(never heard of them)

nice new gallienus RG! i don't have him in silver, and only have this sad little AE thing...

 

Here is my heavy Gallienus.

A fellow collector told me that a dupondius of the same die is depicted in Göbl (No. 438k, plate 39). I will try to shot a photo showing the coin besides an antoninianus and a Severian dupondius.
