Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete copper alloy Roman radiate of Victorinus, dating to the period AD 269-271 (Reece Period 13). SALVS AVG reverse type depicting Salus standing left and feeding a snake rising from an altar. This coin may be a contemporary copy (albeit a good one) as the reverse legend appears blundered. Uncertain mint.
