Being offered as Gordian I, but...

Hello All!

This one appears to be genuine, but I'm pretty sure it's NOT Gordian I?!

Thanks to the experts for positive ID :-)

I am not sure but from what I can read on the coin it looks like, A Trebonianus Gallus, Coin with a date of XII or XIII
Go to helvetica's SS here "http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/moesia.xls"

Good Luck

That seems right, Trebonianus Gallus of year 13, AMNG 165, with obv. legend

IMP C GALLVS P FELIX AVG.

Viminacium struck no coins for Gordian I-II; its coinage begins under Gordian III with Year 1 = 239/240 AD.

AN XVI would be AMNG [169]: engraver's error for XIV (AMNG 168), since in true Year XVI = 254/255 AD, Viminacium only struck for Valerian I and Gallienus.

Thanks to all :-)

Seller has been notified. I wonder if he will fix the listing?
