<p>[QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 3530061, member: 74834"]Thank you! I called it a beast because most of the coins I bought from this catalogue are in the first place historically interesting, not esthetically. Coins like this drachm were possibly minted for a festivity. Drachms of Gallienus only exist for the year 12, and only in four reverse varieties: Eagle, Irene (= personification of Peace), Homonoia and Nike. They might have been given out to people attending festive games. </p><p>It is rare and because of the damage I could win it. But the portrait is nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
