Postumus - PACATOR ORBIS oTD
« on: February 29, 2020, 10:44:16 am »
These bust of Sol coins of Postumus always seem to be sought after. They appear to be scarce rather than rare as they do turn up. I was offered one recently and it was simply too good a deal to turn it down. The portait of Sol is quite pleasing.

Postumus Antoninianus

Obv:– IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right
Rev:– PACATOR ORBIS, Radiate, draped bust of Sol right.
Minted in Trier. A.D. 269
Reference– RIC 317

3.25g. 19.41 mm. 0 degrees
