Grade:     VF, porous
Notes:     Sale: CNG 72, Lot: 1705 Overstruck on a denarius of Diadumenian (cf. RIC IV 102; ...ANT DIADVME.. Following the capture of Valerian I by the Persians, a number of usurpations occurred throughout the empire. In Illyricum, one of Valerian’s generals, Cornelius Publius Caius Regalianus, seized power, but was killed by his own troops after a very short reign. All of Regalianus’ coinage has been attributed to a mint in Carnuntum (on the Danube between modern Hainburg and Bratislava in Hungary). It was obviously struck in great haste as evidenced by the relatively crude style and the fact that his known coins are all overstruck on other coins.
