Commentary
Exemplaire sans marque dans le champ au revers. Seulement trois exemplaires dans le trésor de Cunetio. Nous n’avions encore jamais eu l’occasion de proposer ce type à la vente ! Monnaie absente des planches de l’Empire Gaulois, ce qui démontre une fois de plus l’extrême rareté !.
Unmarked example in the reverse field. Only three examples in the Cunetio hoard. We have never before had the opportunity to offer this type for sale! The coin is absent from the plates of the Gallic Empire, which once again demonstrates its extreme rarity!

Historical background
VICTORINUS
(10-11/269-09/271)
Victorin spent his entire career under the reign of Postumus, of whom he was one of the main civil collaborators. He succeeds Marius, who died just after Postumus. Victorin definitively loses Spain at the beginning of the reign and has to face seditions in Brittany and Gaul. The siege of Autun, a university town in Gaul, lasted seven months. Shortly after, Victorin was assassinated in Cologne by one of his officers, a jealous husband, when he had just restored order in Gaul with the capture of Autun. His mother, Victorine, continues to play an important role in choosing the successor of her son, Tétricus..
