Salonina. Augusta, AD 254-268. Quinarius (14mm, 1.34 g, 6h). Rome mint. 1st-5th issue, AD 253-260. SALONINA AVG, diademed and draped bust right / PIETAS [A]VG (sic), empress seated left, holding sceptre; two children standing before her, another beside chair. MIR 36, 229c var. (rev. legend); RIC V (joint reign) 41 var. (same); King 43 var. (same). Near VF, green patina, a few spots of active corrosion.
Ex Classical Numismatic Group 47 (16 September 1998), lot 1925.
The use of AVG instead of AVGG in the reverse legend would seem to represent a die-sinking error, as this type was not struck for Salonina during the sole reign of Gallienus. For another error of a similar type see MIR 460v, a sole reign quinarius of Gallienus with this reverse type and PIETAS AVGG.
