This particular one had a decent amount of detail extant, and so I thought it'd be pretty easy to nail down, but instead, even though it's pretty obviously from the 3rd century, it has me presently stumped. "PAX AVG" reverse, with a "V" in the left field and a star in the right. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 10:08 pm That would seem to be the correct identification of the emperor. Once you see it, it's like, "Why couldn't I read that right off?" but for some reason it was eluding me. I think I can now safely call it as RIC 118 (Sear 11175).

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/09/2017 6:37 pm Since this is Gallic usurper coinage, any thoughts about where it was struck? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
