Lot of two (2) coins. 532a Gallienus. AD 253-268. Antoninianus (19mm, 3.93 g, 11h). Contemporary cast forgery. IMP C P LIC GALLIENVS AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / SAECVLARES AVGG, goat walking left; III in exergue. VF, good silver content, deposits on reverse.
Bought from David Miller 2001. Reported to have come from a Bulgarian hoard.
This coin has been cast from an obverse mould taken from a coin of Rome mint issue 1 and a reverse taken from a coin of Philip II (RIC 224).
532b Gallienus. AD 253-268. Antoninianus (21mm, 3.12 g, 12h). Contemporary struck forgery. IMP C P LIC GALLIENVS AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / IVNO MARTIALIS, Juno seated left, holding corn-ears(?) and sceptre; four pellets in exergue. VF, good silver content, porosity.
Bought from Manton Associates, 1995.
The reverse of this coin belongs to an Antioch issue coin of Trebonianus Gallus (RIC 83 and note). However, the coin appears struck, rather than cast, so dies must have been cut for both sides. The style of the obverse is certainly unofficial.
