ccg Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I'm guessing it's a "Gallic Empire" double-sestertius?? Just a random guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie582 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 After playing with the image and PSP, I believe the coin is a once silvered Antoniniani of Postumus (260-74 AD) Ref:- "Roman base metal coins" by Richard Plant Obverse A CRB312 I make the legend to be - IMPCMCASSLATPOSTVMVSPFAVG But some of that is guesswork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
