Well the mint appears from Rome...The reverse copies an old Roman coin of Haridian period but the reading appears to be from the Gallenus family....However 1560 as a date.....

I have several roman coins, mostly bronze that are close b ut not exactly what you show. Try sending me a hi res scan and I will see what I can do.

Where did you find this?? Well, not the exact location. What country/state?

Re: can't find any info on this coin?

It was purchased in: RIORGES, Rh?ne-Alpes
France.

On an Ebay auction (earlier post)

I've just been trying to get a little background on it. By the number of posts answered here, I figured I've come to the right place.

You do not know what it is? Then you have stumped yourself it appears.

Re: can't find any info on this coin?

As far as I can see....I was stumped from the beginning.....

Please don't tell me you wouldn't(or have never) spent a dollar or two on a coin that you have never seen before?

Now one here knows what it is so I guess I'm not alone.

Half the fun is discovering what you bought or at worst it cost you a couple bucks to go on a fun treasure hunt for a couple hours.(or in this case weeks....

Thank you all for your help....

Nothing wrong with the purchase at all. Sometimes you hit a good one. Jeff got a good valuable coin once at a rumage sale i believe. I've had a few windfall purchases at rumage sales myself. As for ebay i strickly sell there.

Here is a rookie translation

Abvndantia - Abundance/Plenty
Pvblica - Public
Galliae - Gallia (now France)

Pietas - Piety (dutiful)
Regis - King of
Invictis - Unconquerable/Invincible

Felicitas - Happy (lucky or most successful)

Hope this helps I haven't yet found any info on the coin specifically.

Re: can't find any info on this coin?

Abvndantia ? Pvblica ? Galliar (victory by public will Galliar family)

Pietas ? Regis ? Invictis (roughly Piety-king-invincible)

Fillictas
Galliae (roughly: happily the restorer of France)

It appears to be a coin from the family I mentioned before. These were minted as victories were had as the empire was falling apart.

Here is a link to a good site that may help some: http://www.beastcoins.com/RomanImperial/V-I/Gallienus/Gallienus.htm

Also if this is a coin from that time it is very well minted even though the condition.
