<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 4135229, member: 84905&quot;]I have a reasonably large collection of Victorinus and the other &quot;Gallic&quot; emperors. The coins come in billion only for Victorinus, but deteriorated quickly into practically complete bronze/copper issues with no discernible silver content. The coin shown at the start of the thread does not look like a regular issue in relatively good billon. In fact, I think the PAX reverse was only produced in bronze/copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>If genuine, I think the coin was silvered at some later stage for some unknown reason. I have a Quintillus Ant. which has also been covered with a thick layer of silvering with the copper core showing through at the edges. Why this was done is a complete mystery to me. It is certainly not silver wash, which was applied before the coin was struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
