That raven or whatever it is on top of the standard is awesome!

 

Also a Licinus, laureate and draped:

Ostia, 312-313 AD, mint mark MOSTQ
RIC VI 95b

Here's a rare one... I've only been able to find one other in many hours of internet searching (seems to be an obverse but not a reverse die match).

There is a similar coin (RIC 75) with just a cuirassed bust that is rare itself but with a draped & cuirassed bust this coin goes from rare to very rare.


Maximinus II
Obv: IMP MAXIMINVS PF AVG. Laureate, draped & cuirassed bust right
Rev: GENIO POP ROM. Genius standing left, holding cornucopiae & patera from which water flows.
Mintmark MOSTT
Ref: RIC VI Ostia 77a.
312-313 ad

Edit: I saw you mentioned no Maxentius... but missed the part about a Constantine controlled mint. This coin was issued under Maxentius... so not what you're looking for but still a fun coin.

 

Constantin I. 306–337 Ae, Follis. Ostia 312-3

IMP C CONSTANTINVS P F AVG Laureate bust right

S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI Legionary eagle between 2 standards

MOST

RIC VII p.410 94

 

This coin is ok for my research, it is of Maximinus. Thank you for your contribution.

 

This is the only one still in my collection:

Ostia mint, A.D. 312-313
RIC 94
Obv: IMP C CONSTANTINVS P F AVG
Rev: S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI - Legionary eagle between two vexilla; hand atop left, wreath atop right
MOSTT in exergue
21 x 16 mm, 4.6 g.

This one used to be in my collection, but I sold it a while ago, so I no longer have size and weight data:

 

Thank you all for your contribute, I invite everyone to post their own.
Thank you
