Hi again, looking for some assistance.
I figure it is a radiate, right, end of obverse story, then PAX AVG reverse.
it is thin, 20mm x 16mm and 1.24 grams.
I'm not expecting miracles, but any other thoughts would be a big help. Thanks

@Growl62, thanks for the reply.


I also think it could be Gallienus, however, the detail and angle of the radiate rays are quite distinctive, almost upright and parallel.
I'll keep trawling for those traits, along with the features of Pax.
I've got all the time in the world

I'm thinking it might be a barbarous radiate, not an official Roman coin.

That was my first thought, but Growl62's link made me uncertain.

That's food for thought Sap. I noticed two or three similar Gallienus radiates, mostly struck in Rome, but the PAX layout or legend was different.
For the time being it is uncertain, like a lot of things in life.
Thanks Sap and Jan1may.
