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 65 or LUGDUNUM 129a. Otherwise, coin should be listed before LUGDUNUM 69.

NOTES

Weight 11.0 g; diameter 27-29 mm. Sold on Auctiones eAuction 10 (lot 118) in November 2012 for CHF 1,305.
