GALLIENVS AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust right / [LIB]ERALIT AVG, Liberalitas standing left, holding tessera and cornucopiae. MIR 36, 457q1 corr. (no P in exergue; this coin illustrated); RIC V (sole reign) 228 var. (bust type); Cunetio 1033; Normanby 114 (this coin illustrated). Fine, coppery surfaces, rough edge.

Bought from C. J. Martin (Coins) Ltd., 1987. Ex Normanby, Lincolnshire, Hoard (1985) [IRBCH 854], no. 114 (part of).

MIR erroneously notes this coin as the sole example of an issue with the officina mark P in the exergue. Upon close inspection, there is no officina mark here, as noted in the Normanby catalogue.

Ex Glendining's (30 September 1998), lot 139 (part of); Deeping St. James (Market Deeping), Lincolnshire, Hoard (1980) [IRBCH 699].

This coin combines a reverse legend of Libertas with a design representing Liberalitas.
