NGC DESCRIPTION: BI Double-Denarius
NGC GRADE: Choice Extra Fine
ABOUT THE COIN:
The double-denarius, or antoninianus, were struck from 215 to 293 AD. The first antoniniani were first struck with an alloy containing about 49.5% silver, but the denomination was continually debased until by 274 the alloy contained only 2.5% silver.
The Gallic Empire was established by Postumus in 260 in the wake of barbarian invasions and instability in Rome, and at its height included the territories of Germania, Gaul, Britannia, and (for a time) Hispania.
