[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 25162686, member: 26430"]That's a great pick-up! I also love all the Gallus examples posted. Newest addition to my Fallen Horseman (FH) collection. (Seller photo, edited by me.) LXXII (Siscia) -- but no Chi-Rho, unfortunately! [ATTACH=full]1603828[/ATTACH] The FH types have been my favorite series of Roman Imperial Coins for at least 20 or 25 years now, but I've only recently started trying to collect the "important" varieties and different mints. This post reminded me to put the Chi-Rho variety high on my wish-list (especially from Constantius Gallus, Aquileia), right after any Trier mint issue (needed to have one from every mint). The [USER=92212]@philologus_1[/USER] Gallus is a very attractive coin in its own right, apart from being a fascinating & rare type. (Those surfaces look to me like an old collection. Anytime one of those old multi-generational, pre-WWI European family collections goes to auction, I notice a lot of late Roman bronzes with that appearance.)[/QUOTE]
