AE25 I can not find this one on wildwinds and have looked everywhere. The M on the rev. PMS COL VI-M seems to be in the ex. area. I assume the coin is minted in Viminacium. Any and all help welcomed. Thank you in advance.

Hey David,
     Your coin is Trebonius Gallus from Viminacium as noted.  There are a lot of different legend variations/ errors for this period at Viminacium.  Your coin appears to read IMP C GALLVS P FELIX AV    with the reverse PMS - COL VI / ANXIV.   This appears to be a variant of Martin 5.21 which is not listed.  Martin 5.21.7 would be a match to your coin except the given obverse legend ends AG instead of AV.  Martin 5.12.13 would be a match if your exergue reads ANXIII instead of ANXIV.  I can't tell well enough from the photo, but you may be able in hand.
