| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Moneta stands in full figure, facing left, holding a pair of scales in her raised right hand and a cornucopiae in her left. The figure is rendered in the classical allegorical tradition, symbolizing the legitimacy and prosperity of the Gallic imperial coinage. The reverse legend is distributed across the upper field flanking the figure, with no exergual inscription. The composition reflects the Lugdunum mint's competent but somewhat provincial engraving style characteristic of Postumus's reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Postumus founded the Gallic Empire in 260 AD after capturing — and deliberately not ransoming — Saloninus, the teenage son of Gallienus, effectively declaring his breakaway regime permanent through that act of execution. His coinage was unusually well-administered for a usurper, with the Lugdunum mint operating under tighter control than many contemporary Roman issues. The MONETA AVG reverse is a pointed statement: this was a regime asserting full monetary authority over its territory, which at its height included Gaul, Britannia, and Hispania.
The "var." notation against RCV III#10962 likely reflects a legend break or officina difference — Lugdunum ran multiple workshops simultaneously during Postumus's nine-year reign.
