An amusing overstrike of a Postumus 'double sestertius' on a sestertius of Sabina
Lot 2395
Postumus, Romano-Gallic Emperor, 260-269.
'Double Sestertius' (Orichalcum, 32 mm, 24.33 g, 3 h), uncertain mint. IMP C POS[TVMVS] P F AVG Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Postumus to right.
Rev.
[MONE]TA AVG Moneta standing front, head to left, holding scales in her right hand and cornucopiae in her left. Cf. Bastien 387. Some weakness and with traces of overstriking
, otherwise,
very fine.
This 'double sestertius' of Postumus, like many others, was overstruck on an earlier coin - in this case, a sestertius of Sabina Augusta (128–136/7). The much smaller dies used for Postumus, which almost resemble those of an antoninianus, give the piece a somewhat amusing appearance and serve as a symbol of the turbulence that Roman currency endured in the 3rd century amid endless crises.
