| Lot description: Gallienus. Aureus; Gallienus; 253-268 AD, Aureus, Siscia, 3.75g. Göbl-1435h (pl. 105, this coin); RIC-38 (misattributed to Rome); C-226 (200 Fr.). Obv: GALLIE - NVS AVG Head l., crowned with wheat stalks. Rx: FID - E - S MIL Fides standing l., head r., holding two standards. Göbl knew just ten specimens of this aureus, and chose ours for the illustration in his book. The exceptional wreath assimilates Gallienus to Demeter, as on the famous GALLIENAE AVGVSTAE coins.A coin from this same pair of dies recently sold for over $30,000. While our coin is of equal quality on the obverse, the reverse is slightly flatly-struck at 6 o'clock. MS Estimate: 9750 USD |  |
