NOTE: This is only the 4th specimen in the world known to me.
Extremely rare variant without any mintmarks. This coin is part of a true "adventvs" issue and was most likely distributed by the emperor himself upon entering the city of Siscia contrary to regular issues of coins with the adventvs reverse and mintmarks in the exergue, which often were struck long after the emperor had left the city. Attribution of coins without any mintmarks to a particular mint is done on the basis of careful analysis of the coin's style and lettering.

Aurelian RIC TEMP 2868 var. - UNLISTED in RIC V ONLINE WITH SUCH ORIGINAL DEPICTION OF MINERVA !!!OBVERSE: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG
OBVERSE MARK: (•)
REVERSE: MINERVA AVG = Minerva walking left, holding shield in left arm and branch in right hand
BUST TYPE: A3 = Radiate, cuirassed and draped bust left, seen from back
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/-//-
MINT: CYZICUS
ISSUE: 2 (early 271)
WEIGHT: 3,26 g
RIC TEMP: unlisted with this reverse type !!!
Coll. no. 235
Note: very rare bust type in the coinage of Aurelian struck only at the mint of Cyzicus in combination with a completely unpublished reverse type. A coin of the highest numismatic interest!
Same obverse die as coins RIC TEMP 2878, RIC TEMP 2893, RIC TEMP 2829.1, which allows to attribute this unpublished coin with a reverse type lacking any mintmarks to the second issue of Cyzicus mint, especially as the standard MINERVA AVG type (with Minerva standing and holding spear and shield, facing left or right) was struck during issue 2 at Cyzicus.
Such original depiction of Minerva (walking left, holding shield in left arm and branch in right hand) varies significantly to the typical depiction of Minerva in which the Goddess is holding a spear and shield (see e.g. RIC TEMP no. 2861 or 2868) and seems unique in the whole Roman coinage. The only similar (yet not identical) depictions of Minerva can be found in the coinage of Postumus and Septimius Sever.
Only the second known specimen of this exact type (the other was sold at Solidus auction 6 lot 356). The third known example of this extraordinary reverse type is from a different pair of dies (and with a different bust type) - see https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/aurelian/RIC_0334v.jpg

In 641, when Heraclius died, he was succeeded by his sons Constantine III and Heracleonas. When Constantine III died after only a few months, the Byzantine people suspected that Heracleonas had poisoned him. Heracleonas was deposed, mutilated and banished. Constans II, the son of Constantine III, became emperor. This type is attributed to Heraclonas in DOC II-2 and Morrison BnF but today it is accepted as the first issue of Constantine II.
