jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 11:58 pm can you attribute this coin? There's not much legend and this is a silver washed coin. Edited by jessvc1 10/15/2011 12:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 12:24 am At first I was convinced it was Claudius II but I'm now sure its Gallienus. The 'G...NVS AVG' is pretty clear when you know its Gallienus. The reverse is Sol (ORIENS AVG) holding a globe and I can see no whip or any field marks. It must be one of the following: RIC V-1 (S), Milan 494/5 RIC V-1 (S), Rome 249 I dont think your coin ever had a mint mark so I would say it was the Rome coin (the Milan one usually has a 'P' or an 'S') and dated around ?264?. It looks nice and silver considering these coins were very heavily debased so maybe its a little earlier date wise, perhaps the silvering has just survived very well.
