Magydos (AD 253-268) AE 30 - Gallienus

Gallienus, 253-268 AD. AE30 (18.25g). Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind; globe below / Tyche standing left, holding rudder and cornucopia; M-A (41) in fields. Rare. aEF.

It's not certain what the number in the fields refer to. Spanning nearly two centuries, the numbers run from IB (12 to A 41). Perhaps they refer to games celebrated at irregular intervals.
