<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 7041361, member: 15481&quot;]I recently aquired a Victorinus antoninanus that turned out to be a very positive surprise.</p><p>The auction photo was somewhat overexposed, so I was uncertain about what the coin looked like in real life. The coin arrived last week, and it looked pretty great:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1274098[/ATTACH] </p><p>Victorinus BI Antoninianus. Treveri, AD 269.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: IMP C PIAV VICTORINVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust to right</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: PAX AVG, Pax standing to left, holding olive branch and long transverse sceptre; V in left field, star in right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference: RIC V.2 117; Mairat 569.</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter: 19mm Weight:&nbsp; 2.96g 2h</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t think I have seen a coin from Victorinus, nor Tetricus, Tetricus II or Quintillus, with this kind of silvering. I would love to see one though! Please post your coins with great silvering.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
