potin teradrachm which emporer?

[Paul D3]

I think this may be Probus but can't make out the inscription. Does anyone have one like this?

Paul d3:

It is not Probus -- all of his types have a cuirassed bust. It likely is Maximianus, but I can not read the inscription of your coin to be 100% certain.

Milne 4944: A1k2: if. L--E, star left

Milan 2254: A2k2: if. L--E, star left

K2=cloak+cuirass, backview

A1=AKMAOVAMAXIMIANOCCEB

A2= AKMOVAMAXIMIANOCCEB

It is a common coin, so someone should be able to locate a picture somewhere.

Thanks folks for the input. If al else fails, I'll attribute it to Maximianus. To bad this is about the era when portraits started to become symbolic and uniform regardles of the emperor.
