Obv. IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust to right.
Rev. REST ORBIS, Postumus standing right, holding long spear in his left hand and extending his right hand to a turreted female figure who kneels to left before him, holding a cornucopiae with her left hand and clasping the emperor’s hand with her right.
AGK 75 corr. Cunetio -. Elmer 592. RIC 324.
Very rare. Well centered on a full flan. Extremely fine.
This very rare reverse type hails Postumus as restorer of the world in a time of turmoil.
