Description:		Billon antoninianus of Victorinus, struck at Cologne, AD 270-271. The coin is slightly double-struck on the obverse, causing some misalignment of the legend, and struck off-centre on the reverse. Possibly imitative.

Description:		A barbarous radiate in imitation of an antoninianus of Gallienus with reverse of Pegasus right, springing heavenwards (Cf. RIC V, 282; Cf. RSC 980). ’Barbarous radiates’ are unofficial copies, most usually of the emperors, Claudius II, Tetricus I and Tetricus II. They were produced mainly during the 270s and 280s AD, when regular coinage was in short supply after the re-conquest of the breakaway Gallo-Roman Empire.

Description:		Antoninianus of Tetricus I, struck at Mainz or Trier, AD 273-274. Sear (see References below) notes that: "The plural ending of the reverse legend on this, and other types, has been taken as evidence of the elevation of the younger Tetricus to the rank of Augustus during the closing phase of the reign, though it may equally well reflect the desire of the Gallic emperor to be accepted as an imperial colleague by Aurelian in Rome."

Description:		A barbarous radiate of uncertain (possibly Tetricus I) prototype. The reverse design is worn, but depicts a standing female figure. Little remains of either legend, but a possible 'PA' on the reverse might suggest the figure depicted is Pax. ’Barbarous radiates’ are unofficial copies, most usually of the emperors, Claudius II, Tetricus I and Tetricus II. They were produced mainly during the 270s and 280s AD, when regular coinage was in short supply after the re-conquest of the breakaway Gallo-Roman Empire.

Description:		An antoninianus of Allectus, struck at London circa AD 293. The coin is overstruck on an antoninianus of his predecessor, Carausius, and the reverse is from a die of Carausius with mint control letters in the field that were only used during that reign. The overstriking is evident, as the ending of the later emperor's legend has failed to impress the coin, leaving the beginning of the original legend naming Carausius, IMP CA[R], still present. The possibility of a double-striking of the obverse can be ruled out, as the letter-spacing of IMP CA differs on the two instances of those letters. The mint signature, ML, is mostly off-flan, but the surviving tops of the two letters preclude any doubt.

Description:		Antoninianus of Valerian I (otherwise Valerian Senior), struck at Cologne, AD 257-259. Note regarding mint attribution Sear (2005) attributes the coin to the mint of Cologne. Earlier works, RIC V, Part 1 (1927) and RSC, 2nd Ed. (1982),  attribute it to Lugdunum (Lyons).
