(ebay, ex Gillis coins)
(These coins can be distinguished from RIC VI 16a (LMCC 2.01.003) by looking at the bust. The later issues tend to have busts with small heads and elongated necks. This particular coin is of interest because the bust resembles Allectus, the usurper who ruled Britannia before it was reconquered by Rome. It is likely that the mint retained engravers from the London mint of Allectus, in order to produce coins for the tetrarchy.)

(This coin looks as if it is the work of an engraver that previously produced coins for Allectus, as it is different in style to the continental style of coins. These early folles come with cuirassed, draped or trabeate busts. This one appears to be the latter.)Noviomagus

(ex Rob Jones)
(From the Rauceby Hoard, this coin ref BM#120. The hoard was discovered in July 2017. Its location was in Lincolnshire, near the roman town of Causennis (present day Ancaster), and close to Ermine Street. The hoard consisted of 3099 coins, of which 875 were minted in Londinium. The earliest coins in the hoard were minted around AD 294 and the latest about AD 308.)Noviomagus
