Watch List notes:

The Roman Empire
Postumus, 260 – 269

Postumus and the following emperors of the Gallic empire still have individual portrait types, with beards of different lengths. I always selected typical portraits to represent their portrait types in my collection, that I could recognise without reading the coin inscriptions. Often the poor quality of the dies and the increasingly small flans made that quite a challenging and time consuming task. I did succeed eventually and found exceptional coins.
Note that I left the small copper antoninani of Tetricus I and II out of this auction, but they are part of my collection. Especially the young Tetricus II shows interesting portraits as a boy, a portrait type that seems to echo the portraits of imperial princes several decades earlier. AMP.
