Cyprus, Crete and an uncertain city in Asia Minor have all been
suggested as possible mint locations for this extraordinary
issue, but the style and fabric seem Roman. 

Galerius Antoninus (died circa137 AD) was one of two sons, both
of whom died while still very young, of Antoninus Pius and
Faustina Senior. The occasion for this issue is obscure. It has
been suggested that it had a dual purpose of celebrating the
birth of Faustina Junior's first son and serving as a memorial to
her brother on the tenth anniversary of his death.
