Watch List notes:

Gallienus. AD 253-268. Quinarius (15mm, 1.33 g, 1h). Rome mint. 6th issue, AD 260-261. IMP GALLIENVS AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right / VIRTVS AVG, Mars / Virtus standing left, holding globe and long vertical sceptre. MIR 36, 424r; RIC V (sole reign) 380 corr. (obv. legend and rev. description); King 19. Near VF, porosity, slightly ragged edge. Extremely rare, King lists only one coin, in the BM; MIR cites two examples, one of which is the BM coin (perhaps the present coin is the other?).
