Gallienus with Luna Lucifera

[kc]

Hello,

I need help to find a reference for this coin:

Billon denarius
Mint: Antiochia?
Av.: GALLIENVS AVG
Rv.: LVNA LVCIFERA

I have only seen this reverse legend with luna and biga on a Julia Domna denarius.

Regards

Hi kc,
your coin is RIC sole reign 646L (Asian Mint), Göbl 1664e (Antioch).

Great coin!

Hi Stefan,

how much examples does Göbl know?

[quisquam]

I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I just found your coin on http://mk.shahrazad.net/gallienus/ .

Mauseus, I am very grateful to you. 3 examples seem to be quite rare.

indeed quite rare, but even more important is the stunning conservation!

p.s if, by any chance, you get tired of that coin, just let me know

That coin was quite expensive, but must be worth it in that condition.  Very nice!
