<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2471308, member: 42773&quot;]Most reverses on Gallic coins are weak - it&#039;s just the nature of the beast. Bing posted a late Severan Dynasty denarius, which are typically of very high artistry and craftsmanship. It&#039;s really comparing apples and oranges. But the the OP coin has one of the nicest reverse strikes of ANY Gallic type that I&#039;ve come across. And as you can see, the artistry is quite good - they were just generally lazy when it came to actually striking the dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Minor correction smojo: it&#039;s VICTORI<b>NVS</b>, not VICTORIOUS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
