RIC VI, CYZICUS 6, GALERIUS MAXIMIAN, MINTMARK VARIETY

  

OBVERSE

MAXIMIAN-VSCAESAR [MAXIMIANVS CAESAR]; head r., laur.

REVERSE

VIRTVS-MILITVM [VIRTVS MILITVM]; the four princes sacrificing over tripod before archway in six-turreted enclosure. No mintmark in exergue.

NOT IN RIC

MINTMARK VARIETY. Specimen similar to CYZICUS 6 except for the absence of CM in mintmark. Note also footnote to CYZICUS 5a on p. 579: "Vienna contains similar piece [...] without mint-mark". So both pieces could belong to a separate unlisted issue. Further investigations needed.

NOTES

Argenteus. Weight 3.18 g. Coin sold on Helios Numismatik auction in December 2011 for EUR 550.
