Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Exemplaire de qualité exceptionnelle pour ce type de monnayage. Même coin de revers que l’exemplaire du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF, Paris 1985/594 (AGK. 35, pl. 4). H. Schulzki signale seulement neuf exemplaires pour ce rarissime revers. L’exemplaire de MONNAIES 38 (en SPL), de même coin de revers, avait réalisé 1500€.
With all its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons. An example of exceptional quality for this type of coinage. Same reverse die as the example in the Cabinet des médailles of the BnF, Paris 1985/594 (AGK. 35, pl. 4). H. Schulzki reports only nine examples for this extremely rare reverse. The example in MONNAIES 38 (in SPL), with the same reverse die, had achieved €1,500

Historical background
POSTUMUS
(06-07/260-06/269)
Postume seizes the purple by eliminating Salonin, son of Gallien, of whom he had custody. He reigns over Gaul, Brittany and Spain. Did Postume toy with the idea of conquering the Roman Empire? Gallien, twice, will try to reconquer the "pars occidentalis" of the Empire, without success. Postume will remain in power for nine years, before perishing assassinated for having refused the sack of Mainz, a city which supported Lélien.
