1,658 coin types catalogued

Gallienus (AD 253 to 268) ruled during one of the empire's most turbulent periods, losing control of both the Gallic and Palmyrene empires. His sole-reign antoniniani are extremely common but poorly struck, reflecting the hyperinflation and debasement of the era. The silver content of the antoninianus fell to barely 5% under his rule.
