This coin is an Antoninianus of Ceasar Gaius Pius Esuvius Tetricus (Tetricus I : 271-274 A,D.) struck at the Colonia Claudia Ara Agrppinensium in Cologne, Germany when it was the Capital of the Gallic Empire (a breakaway empire of the Roman Empire.), but possibly could have been minted in Treveru (Trier).

The Obverse reads - IMP C TETRICVS PF AVG - and has the head of Tetricus with a Radiate crown and his shoulders cuirassed (armored).

The Reverse reads - PAX AVG - The figure of Pax (Peace), is standing facing left, holding an olive branch and a vertical sceptre.

The coin is struck in billon and weighs about 2.60gm while having a diameter of approximately 18mm.

Roman coins are normally not struck with Medallion Alignment, but this one is. My research indicates that this is normal for this coin - not an error after all.

If you want to read about this piece in a Numismatic book, Reference : RIC V-2, 100v, SEAR 11243; Cohen 95
