Boar, Gallienus: Hercules' boar
[b]Gallienus (253–268)[/b]
Rome mint, workshop E.
Obeverse: GALLIENVSAVG, Gallienus[i]head[/i] right.
Reverse: HERCVLICONSAVG, [i]boar[/i] right. E below.

Comment: One of the true rarities of the zoo series. This is not a great specimen. The boar’s head are disfigured because of ghosting due to a die clash with the obverse die. However it’s a heavy coin with silvery color. Sometimes you just have to take what you can get.

W=3.97g; D=21x20mm.
