    Here is a recent purchase. I liked Sol's cape and superhero-ish posture. Post what you think is relevant:) Do you have a superhero coin?

    Gallienus. AE Antoninianus. 253-268 AD
    O: GALLIENUS AVG, Radiate Head Rt
    Rx: AETERNITAS (ETERNITY) surrounds caped superhero "Sol" standing left with awesome red and yellow "S" chest emblem (universally recognizable "Sol" symbol) in super hero pose emitting super-"Sol"-solar power with rt hand, "Sol-globe-of-power" in left hand. "Sol" sun ray gun in left field (sold separately).

    That would be a super reverse if it didn't have that red and yellow spot smack dab in the middle. :p
