Commentary
Poids très léger ! Avec son argenture. Rubans de type 1. Noté comme courant dans le RIC, mais avec 4 exemplaires seulement dans le Göbl cet exemplaire est bien de la plus grande rareté. Type de revers que nous proposons pour la première fois en vente !.
Very light weight! With its silver plating. Type 1 ribbons. Noted as common in the RIC, but with only 4 examples in the Göbl, this example is indeed of the greatest rarity. This is the type of reverse that we are offering for sale for the first time!

Historical background
GALLIENUS
(07/253-08 or 09/268)
Augustus with Valerian I
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 Postumus, who first eliminated Salonin, 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 revolted.
