| Beschrijving keerzijde | Sol, the solar deity, depicted striding left in dynamic posture, his right hand raised in the characteristic gesture of salutation or benediction, while his left hand holds a whip or globe. The figure is rendered with flowing drapery and elongated proportions typical of mid-third-century Roman imperial iconography. The two-word legend ORIENS AVG is distributed in the field, invoking the Rising Sun as a symbol of imperial renewal and legitimacy favored by Postumus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Postumus founded the breakaway Gallic Empire in 260 after executing the legitimate emperor Saloninus at Cologne, and he governed it with surprising administrative competence for nearly a decade — maintaining Rhine defenses, issuing regular coinage, and holding annual consulships to project Roman legitimacy. His antoniniani from Cologne are generally better struck than contemporary central empire output, reflecting a functioning mint infrastructure rather than an emergency operation.
He was killed in 269 by his own troops, reportedly for refusing to allow the sack of Mainz after suppressing a rival's revolt.
