<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1010704, member: 5739&quot;]Hi everyone, I bought this silver/billon Antoninianus of the Emperor Gallienus, now usually with Roman coins, I tend not to buy the coins minted after AD253, but this one was quite inexpensive, and looked attractive to me, with decent looking metal. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, my questions are.... The reverse is very badly worn, but I can read part of the legends, and I can tell that it is a trophy with a captive seated on either side of it. The only letters on the reverse I can make out are the first four, and it looks like it says &#039;GERM&#039;. So I was hoping someone could tell me the rest of the legend on the reverse, and the significance of this issue, if possible. Also, does anyone know where this coin was minted? Can you tell by the portrait or anything? I know the reverse is in bad shape, but any help is much appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay so I found out the reverse looks to be &#039;GERMANICUS MAX V&#039; I believe.... but am not sure...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
