<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2272661, member: 44210"]This one is from when I went to the show run by the Ft. Lauderdale Coin Club back in September. I was in selling mode then but had to get at least one thing and this was it. Its my second Victorinus and the best of the two I have. Patches of silvering remain on the reverse and the obverse is attractive as well (aside from the silver areas the coin itself is mostly a dark grey color). Its one of those coins that need to be angled a bit to fully show the details. Interesting how much Salus is leaning to her left, kind of looks like she is about to tip over <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/victorinus_zpsoa7mx5rw.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Victorinus served as a soldier under the rebel emperor Postumus, who ruled the breakaway Gallic Empire.
