OBVERSE

NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC lists this extremely rare issue only for Maximian Herculius and Galerius Maximian (p. 247). But note that it could be an engraver's error: PL instead of LP or missing 'G' in PLG and therefore LUGDUNUM 60a or LUGDUNUM 79 (only officina B attested). Otherwise, coin should be listed before LUGDUNUM 68.

NOTES

Weight 9.65 g. Coin sold on Jacquier auction 50 (lot 490) in September 2022 for EUR 950.
