[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 3969998, member: 77226"]Here's an interesting newish coin... It's interesting because it's a first issue with a bust with the characteristics of the previous (although briefly in-place) Gallic emperor Marius rather than the new emperor Victorinus. It's also cool because it was a coin from the Rockbourne hoard, found with 7707 coins in a clay jar in the Rockbourne villa in Hampshire England in 1967. [ATTACH=full]1044578[/ATTACH] [B]Victorinus[/B] Colonia Agrippinensis (Cologne) mint. 1st emission, AD 269. Ob: IMP C PI VICTORINVS AVG Radiate and cuirassed bust right, with the features of Marius R: AEQVITAS AVG Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia. RIC V 41 and 126; Mairat 309; AGK 1b. Seller's information and photos: [ATTACH=full]1044580[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1044581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1044582[/ATTACH] [B] Let see your coins of the Rockbourne Hoard or other coins with the features of the previous emperors![/B][/QUOTE]
