Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture. Rubans de type 1. Portrait tout à fait inhabituel. Seulement dix exemplaires recensés dans le corpus de Göbl. Dans certains ouvrages, le cerf est décrit comme une antilope. Au revers, légende fautée avec SAECVLARHS au lieu de SAECVLARES. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente.
With all its silver plating. Type 1 ribbons. A very unusual portrait. Only ten examples recorded in Göbl's corpus. In some works, the deer is described as an antelope. On the reverse, the legend is mistaken with SAECVLARHS instead of SAECVLARES. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered this type for sale.

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.
