Gallienus. AD 253-268. Antoninianus (20mm, 2.98 g, 1h). Mediolanum (Milan) mint. Issue 3(2), AD 262. GALLIENVS AVG, radiate head right / VOT/X/ET/XX across field. MIR 36, 1067g (same dies as illustration); RIC V –; Cunetio –. Near VF, toned, good silver content, flan irregular. Extremely rare, only one noted by MIR (in a hoard found in Torino, published by G. Cornaggia in RIN 1918).

Bought from Manton Associates, 1993.

Lots 434 and 435 seem to belong to a very small issue. The legend VOT/X/ET/XX is usually enclosed within a wreath (MIR 1065-6). Only one die has been recorded without this feature, and all three recorded coins were also struck from the same obverse die.
