<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3639886, member: 85693&quot;]I am reviving this old thread because I just got a Postumus with the Minerva Fautrix reverse.&nbsp; When I bought it, I couldn&#039;t really tell what it was from the eBay photos, but it was only $5, so what the heck (much of my collection is made up of &quot;what the heck&quot; decisions).&nbsp; When I got it in hand, I was pleasantly surprised at the unusual reverse - I&#039;d never heard of Minerva Fautrix.&nbsp; And then I stumbled across this post (which was informative and helpful). </p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is pretty homely.&nbsp; As with so many issues of this era, the reverse dies were badly worn and it looks as if it circulated a bit as well.&nbsp; Also, mine appears to have very little to do with the element silver.&nbsp; So no Doug, I certainly do not have a <i>nicer</i> one than you do, but I thought I&#039;d toss it out here anyway. </p><p><br /></p><p>Still no Carausius either, although I enjoyed at looking them over in this post. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]976920[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Gallic Empire&nbsp; &nbsp; Antoninianus</b></p><p><b>Postumus (262 A.D.) </b></p><p><b>Cologne or Lugdunum Mint&nbsp; </b></p><p>IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / MINER FAVTR, Minerva running left, holding shield and spear in left hand and branch in right hand.</p><p>RIC 74; Elmer 313; Cohen 195.</p><p>(3.70 grams / 21 mm)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
