Description: | This coin purports to be a Roman radiate (Antoninianus) of Gallienus (AD253-268) probably made from billon. The obverse shows the radiate draped cuirassed bust right. The reverse is indistinct but is most likely to be of Concordia standing left, holding patera and cornucopiae. In any event, the coin is in very poor condition with an eroded and split rim. The surface has degraded with various corrosive elements and the coin is underweight for its type. The quality of the die is also poor, in all; it is most probably a contemporary copy. Cunetio p. 100, c.f. 542 - RIC V, pt. 1, c.f. 130
