Tetricus I- Hilaritas
Tetricus I, mid 271 - spring 274 A.D.

Obverse:Radiate cuirassed bust right
IMP TETRICVS P F AVG

IMP: Imperator, 
TETRICVS: Tetricus
PF: Pius felix, 
AVG: Augustus, 

Reverse:
HILARITAS AVGG

HILARITAS: Hilaritas
AVGG: 2 Emperors

Showing: Hilaritas standing left holding palm frond in right and cornucopia in left.

Domination: Antoninianus, Bronze, size 17 mm

Mint: Gallic, if the bust is radiate, draped and cuirassed then the mint is probably Trier. If the bust is radiate and cuirassed only then the mint is probably Cologne.

Antoninianus of Tetricus I struck A.D.271-274.

However with this last issue of Tetricus it may not be as simple as that. Hilaritas occurs for both bust types and could possibly indicate centralised die cutting or the two mints had combined during the final months of the Gallic Empire
