Went to my coin Club last Night, we have a member that sells lots of coins. He has a large group of Ancients, he go's on business trips to the UK, often.
I picked up 14 coins.........would have bought 25 if I had the money...
This coin is one that I have been searching for....Bull walking...

Gallenus ...AD..253-268..
Antoninianus...Silvered..
Ob. Gallenus Radiate head right..
Rev. Bull walking right..
22mm x 3.80g.

Note the seller has this as Bull walking, I'm not sure, kind of looks like a Lion walking,

With that reverse legend it seems it can only be a Bull. Maybe RIC I Milan 357.
