| Beschrijving keerzijde | Virtus, the personification of military valor, stands facing left, helmeted and clad in military attire. She holds a globe in her extended right hand and a spear (hasta) in her left hand. The figure is rendered in the standing military type common to third-century imperial coinage. The surrounding legend reads PM TRP COS II PP, referencing Postumus's tribunician power and his second consulship, providing a key chronological anchor for the issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Postumus seized power in 260 AD by having the legitimate Caesar Saloninus executed at Cologne, then spent the first years of his reign consolidating a breakaway western empire spanning Gaul, Britain, and Spain. This coin dates to his first two consulships — the COS II in the legend fixes it precisely to 261 — before he went on to hold the fasces five times, an extraordinary self-appointment that advertised dynastic ambition without any sanction from Rome. Aurelian never recovered these territories during Postumus's lifetime; the Gallic Empire outlasted its founder by six years.
