Gallienus. AD 253-268. Antoninianus (21mm, 3.21 g, 11h). Siscia mint. Issue 1, AD 262-3. GALLIENVS AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust right, with shield on left shoulder(?); cuirass decorated with depiction of emperor on horseback, spearing fallen enemy / PAX AVG, Pax walking left, holding olive branch and sceptre. MIR 36, – [1397aa2]; RIC V (sole reign) 576 var. (bust type); Cunetio –. Near Fine, porous brown surfaces.


Bought from David Miller 1996.

The obverse of this coin is from the same die as MIR 1395aa2, the only coin known to Göbl with this bust type. The bust is described as having a shield held on the left (inner) shoulder, but this appears far from definite.
