My last guess before I need a clue, Aurelian.

Not Aurelian.
This person's father was also an emperor and they were both killed, at the same time, possibly by mutinous troops.

The only other person that comes to mind Is Gallienus.

No, although Gallienus was emperor at the same time as his father Valerian. More clues... Anagram of this emperor's name: Usual VinosAnagram of his emperor father's name (the shortened familiar name we often use for him here on CCF): Brutal Legs |

This is not a very good looking coin, they usually aren't and are overlooked by most collectors. This is another countermarked coin that should be pretty easy to ID by using the reference I posted a few days ago.  |
