I like how this coin is viewed from the back, Gallienus.

Carinus is correct. This is a VERY rare bust for Carinus with two known examples from the same obverse die. Right facing wearing imperial mantle.

This one is mine.

Okay. Time for a curve ball. I show you a coin. You have to figure out the emperor. It is possible from what survives to rule out all but one emperor. Not gonna lie..it gonna be tricky. Ill give a clue tomorrow morning.

I won't be able to post a coin until this evening when I get home. I am surprised I got it! It was just a shot in the dark with an emperor who I remembered had this style of coin.
