This type of Diana Redux only appears on the silver coinage of Postumus. Eckhel laconically remarked that “novelty recommends it, but its origin is unknown.” Out of the more than 33,000 antoniniani of Postumus in the Douvres, Etaples, Evreux and Cunetio hoards, as well as those catalogued in CHRB II-V, there were only 4 examples of this type. Interestingly enough, it is said that the Duke of Sussex has an example of this coin in his collection.
