UNLISTED ISSUE. Already known for Cohen (vol. 6, p. 531, no. 377). Pink ("Die Goldprägung des Diocletianus und seiner Mitregenten", Numismatische Zeitschrift 1931, p. 38) and later Bastien ("The Iantinum Mint", American Numismatic Society Museum Notes, 25, 1980, pp. 77-85, plates 9-11) suggested that extremely rare gold issue with IAN in exergue was minted by a transitory mint at Ianticum (now Meaux in France). Listed in Depeyrot (p. 41, no. 1B/2).
The Iantinum mint is not attested in RIC V/2 and RIC VI. If its short activity preceded the establishment of the mint at Treveri, these coins belong to pre-Reform coinage. However, there is a strong evidence that "the gold coins struck at Iantinum reuse obverse dies that were first used at Treveri". See: Sylviane Estiot, Pierre Zanchi, "De Lyon à Trèves. L’ouverture de l’atelier de Trèves à l’époque tétrarchique et ses premières émissions : monnaie radiée et monnaie d’or (293-295 apr. J.-C.)", Revue Numismatique 2014, pp. 247-296.
