This is the only bronze coin produced at Antiochia for Gallienus, and it is of extreme rarity today: Göbl knew of only two examples, but two other specimens have hence surfaced in CNG E-Auction 192 (2008), 277 and Roma E-Auction 2 (2018), 839, making the piece from the G.G. Collection the fifth recorded.
