Hi,
I have been lucky with
Carausius purchases this last couple of months (plus a simply marvellous gift of over two dozen
Carausius and
Allectus coins) and that continues with a “triple G” coin winging its way to me as I
type.
On the
face of it the coin looks to be just a
London mint PAX AVGGG for
Maximianus, however, closer inspection of the
reverse type shows
Pax to be holding a
Victory on globe, rather than the usual branch.
It is a
type that I only know of in two varieties, one for
Carausius and one for
Maximianus (numbers 31 and 32 respectively in my published listing of the three emperors coins). Not in fabulous condition, sadly, but a very
rare variety all the same and one I am pleased to secure. Sorry for the
poor dealer pictures.
Regards,
Mauseus
