<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3212027, member: 82549&quot;]I was going through a small lot of coins that I&#039;d recently won in an auction and discovered something neat - a pair of father/son coins.</p><p>Both coins are from the same Eastern mint, possibly Antioch. One is of Valerian, the other his son, Gallienus. Both coins have the same reverse: VIRT-VS AV-GG - Valerian and Gallienus, standing, facing each other. The figure on the left, probably Gallienus (because of its slightly smaller stature) is holding a spear and handing Valerian, on the right, a globe, while Valerian is holding a transverse spear in his left hand and holding up Victory in his right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Valerian (RIC 293, 20mm, 4.4g) - IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS P F AVG</p><p>[ATTACH=full]834256[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus (RIC 456, 21mm, 3.6g) - IMP C P LIC GALLIENVS P F AVG</p><p>[ATTACH=full]834271[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
