Found Possible Bonosus coin

[Charles C3]

What do you think?   

[Mark Fox]

Dear Charles C3 and Board,

There are two letters that look a bit like "BO," but when the others are concerned, nothing can be construed as BONOSVS."  To me, it looks like a barbarous imitation of either Victorinus or Tetricus I.   

For the crude bronzes that had been previously attributed to Bonosus, this article may be of some interest to you.

Hope this helps a little.

"Bonosus" coins have been in recent years generally discounted as merely "barbarous" radiates rather than coinage of Bonosus.  In short, few believe in them anymore.
