Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Représentation du revers tout à fait exceptionnelle. Peut-être le plus bel exemplaire connu. Ce type était côté 100 francs or dans la deuxième édition du Cohen en 1885 (Rollin et Feuardent) .
With all its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons. Representation of the reverse quite exceptional. Perhaps the finest known example. This type was listed at 100 gold francs in the second edition of Cohen in 1885 (Rollin and Feuardent)

Historical background
GALLIENUS
(07/253-08 or 09/268)
Augustus
Gallien, the son of Valérien I, was born in 218. He was immediately associated by his father with power and was in charge of the West, while his father went to the East. He won a brilliant victory over the Germans and consolidated the Rheno-Danubian limes. After the capture of Valérien in the East, Gallien must face on all fronts. The empire breaks up. Gaul, Spain, Germania and Brittany secede with Postum who first eliminated Salonin, the son of Gallien. It is the usurpation of Macrianus and Quietus in the East. Gallien will spend the last eight years of his life trying to put the pieces of this empire back together. Finally, he was assassinated in September 268 under the walls of Milan while besieging Aureolus, the master of the Cavalry, who had revolted.
