Fallen horseman of gordian

[RoryduPondius]

I got a coin from forum in a uncleaned lot about a year ago and i have not attributed it until now but it is a fallen horseman which most certainly says on inscription gordian. Is this a official issue?

I'm no expert on coins, but I don't think the "Fel Temp" / "Fallen Horseman" types were minted before around 340AD. A picture of obverse and reverse with weight and size would help in ID'ing your example.

It is either not a FEL TEMP or id does not say GORDIAN, unless it was tooled. A picture says more than a thousand words.

Did gratian issue fallen horseman? The coin is very worn and the inscription is blurred

Did gratian issue fallen horseman?

No, Gratian did not issue this type. They were issued in the name of Constantius II, Constantius Gallus, Constans, Julian II and Magnentius.

It definitely says (?)ian on the left side of the inscription

[Victor C]

It definitely says (?)ian on the left side of the inscription

It is most likely Julian II. His name will look something like IVLIANVS

[RoryduPondius]

I think you are correct victor. Thanks! I did not know that JULIAN II issued fallen horsemen.

Here's mine for comparison. Not the best picture though.
