    Another dime sized coin. Not sure what is in the persons right hand on the back but I'm having trouble identifying it. Any ideas?

    The portrait style and patina are rather pleasant on that one

    Better to use RIC 470 variety since RIC does not list your exact spelling.

    470K var Mediolanum GALLIENVS AVG [​IMG] [​IMG] Duplicate

    RIC 470 lists only BON EVENT or BONVS EVENTVS AVG as reverse legend
    Radiate head right
    1391a Mediolanum
    BON EVEN AVG
    Bonus Eventus standing facing, head left, by altar, holding patera and ears of corn, MT in exergue
