Gallienus. AD 253-268. Antoninianus (21mm, 3.86 g, 1h). Mediolanum (Milan) mint. Issue 2(2), AD 260-1. GALLIENVS AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust right / LEG · I · ITAL VI P VI F, boar standing right. MIR 36, 986r var. (rev. legend); RIC V (joint reign) 320 var. (same); Cunetio 1443 var. (same). Near EF, deposits, weak reverse strike.
Ex I. Vecchi 13 (4 September 1998), lot 873.
This coin displays two amorphous marks in the legend, one to either side of the figure I in the reverse legend. It would appear that the die was originally cut in error to read LEG III ITAL, with the extra figures subsequently erased, not very successfully, from the die.
