Forgot to add, mis-attribution is all over the web as anyone can set up a site and put whatever they want on it. I would say somewhere between 10-20% of coins on ebay have wrong RICs or descriptions, be careful and try to confirm things on 'good' websites. The above links are among the best but many, many more sites exist specialising in different areas.

It is a Gallienus with a Victoria reverse, but I haven't had time to attribute yet. Maybe this will give you a starting point
