[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7665881, member: 75937"]These Gallic emperors used reverse dies about twice as long as they should have. Sure, it's a bit ragged, but the reverse die wasn't particularly worn when it was struck and Hilaritas's facial features are clear. [ATTACH=full]1317410[/ATTACH] Tetricus I, AD 271-274 Roman billon antoninianus, 2.74 g, 20.1 mm, 4h Mainz or Trier, AD 273-274 Obv: IMP TETRICVS P F AVG, radiate, cuirassed bust right Rev: HILARITAS AVGG, Hilaritas standing left, holding long palm and cornucopiae Refs: RIC 80; Cohen 54; RCV 11237. It's very unusual to find a Tetricus II with a clearly struck reverse. Spes is the most commonly encountered type for the young fella. Here's my most photogenic one. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/tetricus-ii-spes-avg-jpg.765874/[/IMG] Tetricus II, Caesar AD 273-274. Roman Æ antoninianus, 18.1 mm, 3.48 g. Mainz or Trier, AD 273 - spring 274. Obv: C PIV ESV TETRICVS CAES, radiate and draped bust right, seen from behind. Rev: SPES AVGG, Spes advancing left, holding flower and lifting skirt.
