Lot of two (2) coins. Bastien Plate Coin

614a Postumus. Romano-Gallic Emperor, AD 260-269. Radiate bronze (24mm, 6.48 g, 6h). Struck circa AD 265-266. IMP C M CASS LAT POSTVMVS P F A[V] (sic), radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / [GERM]AN[IC]VS MAX V, trophy of arms between two seated captives. RIC V 198 var. (obv. legend); Bastien 301c (this coin, illustrated, listed as C(abinet de) M(édailles de) P(aris) no. F4949, with a weight of 5.55 g); Banti 14. Fine, even green patina.

Bought from Paul-Francis Jacquier, 2002. Ex Jacquier FPL 29 (Summer 2002), no. 445.

The illustrations on Bastien Pl. XLVIII show this coin unmistakeably to be 301c. If Bastien's reference is correct, the coin must therefore have been deaccessioned from the CDM collection at some stage. However, the certainly erroneous weight he records suggests that it is more likely that Bastien's reference for 301c is incorrect.

614b Postumus. Romano-Gallic Emperor, AD 260-269. Radiate bronze (24.5mm, 9.11 g, 12h). Struck circa AD 264-266. IMP C M CASS LAT POSTVMVS P F AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / IOVI PROPVGNAT[O], Jupiter walking left, head turned back, holding thunderbolt and eagle. RIC V 141 var. (bust type and rev. inscription); Bastien 341 (same rev. die as illustration); Banti 22 var. (same). Near VF, brown surfaces.

Bought from Paul-Francis Jacquier, 2002. Ex Jacquier FPL 29 (Summer 2002), no. 444.
