<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8163692, member: 110350&quot;]Very nice example! I don&#039;t actually have a panther among my Gallienus zoo coins. What I have instead is what has been convincingly (in my opinion) identified as the tigress variety, given the very distinct stripes:</p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus, Billon Antoninianus, Rome Mint 267-268 AD. Obv. Radiate head right, GALLIENVS AVG /Rev. Panther or Tigress walking left, LIBERO P • CONS AVG; B in exergue. RIC V-1 230, RSC IV 586, Sear RCV III 10281. 19mm, 2.83g, 6h.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/gallienus-panther-or-tigress-jpg-version-jpg.1096806/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/detail-gallienus-panther-or-tigress-jpg-version-2-jpg.1096808/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>See the article on this subject by Jim Phelps, at <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Liber%20Pater" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Liber%20Pater" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Liber Pater</a>. Although it&#039;s interesting that so far as I know none of the catalogs&nbsp; -- not RIC, not RSC, and not RCV -- has made the distinction between the panther and tigress; all just list the coin under one number as showing a panther.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
