Maximian Pax Avg

[James b4]

Hi

I was wondering if I could get a mint and RIC attribution for this coin please

Where the mint is there is what appears to be an L and nothing else

MAXIMIANUSPFAVG

PAX AVG

[kc]

Hi James,

what I can say so far is that your coin is a rare variant of the normal type. Usually Pax is holding a globe with Victory in the right hand, not a branch.

Looks like this coin:-

Could it be a B in exe?

Obv:– IMP MAXIMIANVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right
Rev:– PAX AVGG, Pax standing left, olive branch upward in right hand, transverse scepter in left
Minted in Lugdunum (//B). Emission 12, Officina 2. A.D. 294
Reference:– Cohen -. RIC V Pt. 2 407 Bust Type F. Bastien Volume VII 597 (3 examples cited)

thanks for the one Martin, had another look under the scope at the exerge. It could be a B or an A

Also the OBV - doesnt have the IMP
and the REV - has only 1 G ie AVG instead of the 2 in your example AVGG

Then it is more like this one.

Obv:– MAXIMIANVS • P • F • AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right
Rev:– PAX AVGG, Pax standing left, olive branch upward in right hand, scepter in left
Minted in Lugdunum (//A). Emission 12, Officina A. A.D. 294
Reference:– Cohen -. RIC V Pt. 2 408 Bust Type F. Bastien Volume VII 613 (5 examples cited)



Yours has a transverse sceptre rather than upright. Your coin does have a second G which is visible, faintly on your reverse.

Hi Martin thank you for your help.

Will the angle of the sceptre affect the attribution at all?
