Roman Provincial BI Tetradrachm Gallus (251-253 AD) Ch AU NGC

One side of this ancient coin presents a right-facing portrait of Trebonianus Gallus.

On the other side, a powerful eagle stands facing forward, holding a wreath within its beak, a classic symbol of strength and imperial favor. Preserved in Choice Almost Uncirculated condition, this specimen has survived the centuries with its design details remarkably intact. Certified and encapsulated by professional graders, the coin stands as a fascinating testament to provincial Roman currency and the enduring imagery of its leadership.
