| Additional information |
Victorinus ruled the Gallic Empire for less than two years before being murdered by one of his own officers — reportedly over a personal grievance involving the man's wife. His gold coinage is exceptionally rare by any measure, a direct consequence of that abbreviated reign and the chronic financial instability that plagued the breakaway state throughout its existence. The Treveri mint, modern Trier, was the administrative and monetary heart of the Gallic Empire under both Postumus and his successors.
Cohen 45 places this among the documented aurei of Victorinus, though RIC V.2 leaves the specific reference unassigned — a gap that reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty about die attribution rather than the coin's authenticity.
