Commentary
Poids léger. Rubans de type 3. Avec son argenture superficielle. Malgré la faiblesse de frappe sur le buste, on remarque qu’il est bien vu de trois quarts avant, ce qui est totalement inédit ! Il devrait correspondre au MIR 1642l, mais jusqu’ici, aucun exemplaire n’avait été signalé.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons. With its superficial silver plating. Despite the weak striking on the bust, we note that it is clearly seen from the front three-quarters, which is completely unprecedented! It should correspond to MIR 1642l, but until now, no example had been 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.
