  • Over 1,750 Years Old – A Genuine Artifact of Ancient Rome

  • Struck During the Turbulent "Age of Chaos" in Roman History

  • Graded Mint State by NGC – A Rarely Seen High-Grade Ancient Coin

This ancient Roman coin was issued under Emperor Gallienus, who ruled during one of the most unstable periods in Roman history, known as the “Age of Chaos” (AD 253–268). Amid invasions, civil wars, and plagues, Gallienus still managed to reform the military and maintain imperial control for over a decade. This double denarius, or Antoninianus, is struck in billon, a silver-copper alloy commonly used during this era due to economic collapse and silver shortages. Despite the turmoil of its time, this coin survives in exceptional condition and has been certified Mint State by NGC, an uncommon grade for coins over 1,700 years old.

The obverse features a detailed portrait of Gallienus, often wearing a radiate crown, while the reverse may depict gods, personifications, or military symbolism reflecting the emperor’s struggle to preserve Rome’s power. While most coins from this era are found heavily worn, this piece retains sharp details, strong strike, and remarkable surface preservation. NGC’s certification confirms both authenticity and outstanding state of preservation, adding lasting value and collector confidence. A standout piece from a chaotic chapter of Roman history, this coin is ideal for collectors of imperial coinage, certified ancients, or historical rarities.
