<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1894880, member: 19463&quot;]Two more NP antoniniani show great differences considering they were issued by husband and wife.&nbsp; Both appear silver in color but the Salonina is from the very first part of the joint reign and is, for her, very good silver.&nbsp; It was not silver washed.&nbsp; Unfortunately it is a ragged edged mess and not well struck on the reverse (Venus Felix with cupid at feet).&nbsp;&nbsp; RIC says it is from Lugdunum mint but more recent references move the coin to Trier or Cologne. (Who do you believe?)[ATTACH=full]323205[/ATTACH] </p><p>The Gallienus is from the end of the reign (TRP XV), Antioch or Asia mint (the coins have in common that books disagree on where the mints were located).&nbsp;&nbsp; The flan is about as round as these things can be with well struck legends but the alloy has fallen to the point that the silver is provided by a surface wash.&nbsp;&nbsp; The reverse figure is a bit of a stick.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]323206[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
