| Comment- See the elephant with 4 legs and trunk down,
looking left at the figure on short pedestal with arm raised? There is an elephant with
trunk down looking right at figure also, but it is more worn down than the left side of
the coin. Rough surfaces and speckled patina was very difficult to photograph, and
lighting just seemed to make the coin look worse. |

Gallienus, 253 - 268 AD
AE 29 of Parium, MysiaBust right / Gate or arch with

Comment- A different variation of the coin above. A small
figure on short pedestal with arm raised and holding a long object. There is an elephant
in the center with trunk up facing the figure. The same scene was mirrored on the left,
but it is worn away. The letters CCI on the bottom are backwards, but the letter P on the
right side is facing the correct way. There is a pellet at the top of the large door. |
