<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 6472419, member: 87200"]I was going to show a Gallienus as an example of a base metal coin but I reached my picture limit in the last post. As you can see, the silver is nowhere to be found, and folks likely were hoarding the coins of 35%-40% fineness as struck by Gordian III through the time of Decius, Trebonianus Gallus further debased the coinage and of course, it collapsed with Gallienus after his father Valerian was captured by the Persians. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1258440[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1258441[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
