have appeared on the market, but the fourteen in CoinArchives Pro with the same bust
type and coiffure as ours, plus nine other such specimens that we have had in stock,
were all struck from the same obverse die as the present coin, confirming the rarity of
Tranquillina’s silver at Caesarea. Slight double-striking on a eye of Tranquillina. EF..

377. VALERIAN II AS CAESAR, UNPUBLISHED MULE; 256-258 AD, Antioch, 258

of Saloninus. Obv: P LIC COR VALERIANVS CAES Bust radiate, draped r. Rx: DII
NVTRITORES Jupiter standing l. presenting Victory on globe to prince standing r. Ex
Berk 166, 15 October 2009, lot 426 (there still misattributed to Saloninus). Apparently
a mule struck from an old obverse die of Valerian II, after his death in 258 and his
replacement as Caesar by Saloninus. It would have been easy for mint workers to
overlook the obsolete obverse die, since the legends used by Antioch for the two
brothers were very similar:
P LIC COR VALERIANVS CAES for Valerian II,
P COR SAL VALERIANVS CAES for Saloninus.
This mule appears to be unpublished: not in Göbl’s monograph on the coinage of
Valerian and Gallienus, neither in the main series nor as an irregular hybrid; not in RIC
or Cohen; not in Berk photofile or CoinArchives Pro. Dark patination with clear and
pleasant images. aEF.................................................................................................550
