| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Postumus facing right, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Gallic Empire coinage. The emperor wears a radiate crown with prominent spikes, paludamentum over the cuirass, and displays a short beard. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP C M CASS LAT POSTVMVS P F AVG, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait exhibits the robust, energetic style typical of mid-third-century Roman provincial workshops. The field is bounded by a beaded border. |
