Also, this example is overstruck on another coin, but the host coin cannot be readily determined. There appears to be remnants of the letter C in the reverse right field and perhaps branches of a coin with a Pax reverse in left field. The fine style, lack of obverse legend punctuation (that I can see), existence of a reverse field mark and smaller features of the reverse figure seem to suggest this piece was minted in Cologne vs the "Southern Mint". Follow-up note from Lars Rutten: Zschucke, Die römische Münzstätte Köln, attributes your coin to Cologne mint, 6. emission, 2. officine (Zschucke 210) and rates it as R1. It isn’t listed in Elmers Münzprägung der gallischen Kaiser. Follow-up note from Steve Minnoch: 5 specimens of this type were in the Cunetio Hoard, (Cunetio 2550). You might also note the punctuation in the obv, i.e. IMP C VICTORINVS.P.F.AVG The mints for Victorinus (and this continues for Tetricus) are identified by the bust type, Mint I (in RIC, Cologne, but according to Cunetio, probably Trier) uses draped and cuirassed busts, Mint II (Southern mint in RIC, but Cologne according to Cunetio) cuirassed only. Your coin is thus Mint I, probably Trier. Z3899 Payment:We accept personal checks, money orders, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal. Please allow time for checks to clear.
