| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate bust of Clodius Albinus facing right, draped, with the imperial legend encircling the effigy. The portrait exhibits the characteristic broad facial features attributed to Albinus in his coinage, rendered in the late Severan style. The laurel wreath is visible atop the head, marking his status as Augustus. The obverse legend runs clockwise around the bust within a slightly irregular flan typical of hammered Roman silver coinage. |

Clodius Albinus held Lugdunum as his western power base during his bid against Septimius Severus, and this coin belongs to that final, desperate phase of his rule — struck at the city's own mint as he consolidated Gallic and British support. The second consulship invoked in the legend was itself a political fiction, granted by Severus as a concession to buy time before the two men's inevitable confrontation.
Severus destroyed Lugdunum after defeating Albinus at the Battle of Lugdunum in February 197, reportedly the bloodiest engagement in the civil wars of that generation. The mint did not long outlast its patron.
