Tiny Barbarous Radiate "Minim"

[Aidan R]

This is a barbarous radiate that is only 11mm! I don't know much about these, so I am looking for who it is imitating or what the reverse design is, and anything about the background of these fascinating tiny coins. Thank you in advanced!

I'm having a hard time making sense of the reverse but the obverse looks like an imitation of one of the Gallic emperors: Postumus, Victorinus, Tetricus I and II.

These Gallic imitations are common and many can be found with a Google search. From my understanding those imitating Tetricus are far and away the most common. Someone with a sharper eye may be able to tell you which reverse this is imitating.

Most likely Tetricus I. I've no idea what the insectoid creature on the reverse is supposed to be!
