Unique ID: NMS-11B8AA

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Incomplete copper alloy Roman irregular radiate. The coin is unusual in that it is double headed with an obverse portrait on either side. One side has a right facing radiate portrait of the emperor Victorinus, [...]TORINVS[...]; and the other a right facing portrait of Tetricus I, [...]C TET[...]. Although of good style the coin appears to be the product of irregular coining. Circa 270-285 AD.
