SALON VALERIANVS NOB CAES, radiate, draped bust r. Rev., SPES PVBLICA, Saloninus standing r., holding spear and receiving flower from Spes, standing l. and lifting hem of dress. RARE.
Saloninus's coins are hard to find on the market and in most collections, the RIC catalogue only describes 16 types of his antoninianii. This coin was minted in Syrian Antioch in 255 AD. Only two types of antoninianii were minted at this mint according to the RIC catalogue. They were minted in a very weak material, not too carelessly, on a poorly prepared blanchet. Despite these undoubted imperfections, this numismatic product, due to its rarity, can be found in every, even very demanding collection.
