Commentary
Poids lourd. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture. Portrait tout à fait inhabituel. Seulement un exemplaire recensé dans le corpus de Göbl. Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire du Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne (W. 63266). Semble le second exemplaire signalé.
Heavyweight. With all its silver plating. Very unusual portrait. Only one example recorded in the Göbl corpus. Same obverse die as the example in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (W. 63266). Seems to be the second example reported.

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.
