pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 1:23 pm I can't read the letters. It measures about 17mm and weighs approx 2.55g. The gold colour is incorrect, it is a sort of dark grey colour. Tell me it is something exciting! Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 1:29 pm Gallic empire - perhaps victorinus? I dont recognise the reverse and the pictures need to be head on to pin anything down. It looks like a cornucopia. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 1:41 pm It looks more like Tetricus I to me, but both Tetricus and Victorinus look a bit alike. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 2:04 pm if I had to bet i'd say tetricus, something like this? Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 2:18 pm Been through wildwinds and can't find a match. Maybe put it back in the DW and see if the letters can be cleaned up. I wasn't going to do anything else with it. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 2:28 pm I don't think you would be able to bring out much more detail. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 2:31 pm Thanks echizento. A few have been over cleaned in one of the lots I bought. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 7:07 pm The Gallic Empire is something I've collected for a while and while I agree Tetricus and Victorinus are very, very alike I'd say this was the latter. Victorinus tends to have a slightly older appearance on his coins. Maybe a LAETITIA reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 7:36 pm Thanks Bobby Had a look at laetitia on wildwinds, it doesn't quite seem to fit. It looks as though a good piece of the reverse is missing making it harder to identify. Report this Post to the Staff
