See my (Moneta) description on one of the sesterius coins in the Gallery. OB: IMP C M CASS LAT POSTVMVS P F AVG (largely illegible), laureate bust r.; RX: VICTORIA AVG; Victory advancing l. holding wreath and palm leaf, captive at feet (here unseen). Oricalcum (brass) sestertius. Attribution for Postumus can be tricky. See J. De Witte "Atlas of Ancient Coins struck by the Emperors of the Gallic Empire" # 315. VM 92, 13.7 gm, 29 mm.
