Gallienus' ant, legend error
« on: December 05, 2014, 08:09:22 am »
hi! I got this antoninianus of Gallienus, with reverse legend error: we can read AVG instead of AVGG (as normal for the first emission).
Is this type of error recorded for this emission?

I think it is hybrid.A revers from  sole reign combined with an early
joint reign obverse die.
...or just an die-Cutter error.

An engraver's error according to Goebl in MIR, who lists and illustrated another specimen from the same dies as yours, pl. 130, T12, in a private collection in Brussels.
