jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 5:37 pm I'll try my hand at this. I'm pretty sure the right coin is a Gallienus AE antonininanus. Reverse is Pax with V in Left field. There are several variants of this coin. My best guess is from Wildwinds (which has a poor example specimen) RIC 156[j] var, V RSC 757 Gallienus. Billon antoninianus, Rome, AD 253-260. Joint reign. IMP GALLIENVS AVG GM, Radiate, cuirassed bust right / PAX AVGG, Pax standing left, holding branch and transverse sceptre. V in left field. RSC 757, RIC 156 var (obv. legend). Report this Post to the Staff
jimmyd13 New Member United Kingdom 39 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 5:46 pm Thank you and I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who's looked and particularly those who have commented. It's late here now and I'm going to call it a night. I won't have much time to look at these in any more detail until Friday evening but you have genuinely all helped to open a new area to me ... I think I might have months and years to come finding my way around ancient coinage. At least it's not the most expensive new hobby I could choose! Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 01:25 am Gallienus is PAX AETERNA type, you can see the horribly carved N at about 5:00. Gallienus, AE Antoninianus. 2.38g. Rome mint. Sole reign. IMP CAES GALLIENVS AVG, radiate head right / PAX AETERNA AVG, Pax standing left, holding olive branch and sceptre. Delta; in left field. RIC V-1 (S), Rome 254 From wildwinds: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...ienus/i.html (Note that I am taking a stab at the obverse legend, there are three possibilities for that reverse with the delta field mark.) Second I still can't make much out. Can you maybe provide more pictures angled at different lighting? Maybe let us know if you can make out letters or figures? At this time I am leaning toward barbarous copy of a Fides type antoninianus (Aurelian maybe), but I can't recall seeing a barb that dark. Report this Post to the Staff
