Obverse: IMPC POSTVMVS PF AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust R.

Trier, Officina C, Issue 3.

Ric 75, Common. RIC also gives #315 with an identical description; #75 is atrributed as being from Lugdunum mint and #315 Cologne. As RIC's mint attributions for Postumus don't hold up, I've assumed the two to be identical.

Reverse: PACATOR ORBIS, Radiate and Draped bust of Sol R.

Trier, Officina A, Issue 7.

RIC 317, Scarce.

Broken unfortunately, but in the right place, and it's still quite a pleasant coin. It's not common and it was a case of getting what I could afford!

Reverse: PAX AVG, Pax standing L with branch and sceptre. P in L field.

Trier, Officina A, Issue 6.

I'm not sure there's much justification in identifying this with RIC 318; it's clearly a different type. But it's the closest I can get.

Reverse: PM TRP COS III PP, Emperor standing L with spear & globe.

Trier, Issue 2, Officina B. 260-1 AD.

RIC V/2 55, Common.

This is evidently an engraver's error, as Postumus was COS II in 260-1, when he was TRP I, and this is as stated on the common dated coin of this year. I have two of these, from different dies, so evidently the mistake was repeated.

Reverse: PM TRP IIII COS III PP, Mars walking R with spear and trophy.

The flan is very thin, hence the low weight.

Reverse: SALVS PROVINCIARVM, Rhine reclining L, one hand on urn, the other on river boat prow.

Trier, Officina A, Issue 1.

Postumus' first type, this seems to commemorate some sort of victory along the Rhine, which allegedly restored 'the safety of the province'.

Reverse: VIRTVS AVG, Mars standing R holding spear and leaning on shield.

Trier, Officina B, Issue 2.
