Coin Highlights:
Each Romano-Gallic Empire Postumus BI Double Denarius offered here is in About Uncirculated condition. AU coins typically have light or trace wear only on the highest relief points, with only minimal signs of wear from circulation.
The bimetallic double denarii associated with the Gallic Empire between approximately 260 and 269 AD belong to the period beginning with the rule of Postumus and the establishment of an independent western imperial government. This breakaway state controlled territories that included Gaul, Britain, and portions of Hispania while maintaining many familiar Roman political and monetary traditions. These two-metal coins were produced as the central Roman currency system faced serious problems with declining silver content.
Designs on the Postumus BI Double Denarius present a portrait of Postumus wearing the radiate crown traditionally associated with the Roman double-denarius denomination. The imperial portrait follows the increasingly direct style common to 3rd-century Roman coinage, reflecting a broader movement away from some of the idealized conventions characteristic of earlier imperial portraits. On the reverse, familiar Roman imperial themes and symbols reinforce the ruler’s authority while connecting the Gallic emperors and their government to the established political, religious, and monetary traditions of the Roman Empire.
