OB: IMP VICTORINVS P F AVG; Rx: INVICTVS; Sol advancing left, holding whip.
A wonderful EF+ example that has a proof-like surface on a hint of overall silvering. Victorinus succeeded Marius to the throne. During his two years there he witnessed the seceeding of Spain from the Gallic Empire and was victorious in a 7 month siege at Augustodunum. He was murdered by one of his own officers at Cologne. S3165; C49; RIC 114.
