    Here is a large coin I am cleaning. I can't seem to identify it. It is 28 mm and weighs 9.66 g.

    It looks like Galerius with an obverse of IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS PF AVG reverse of GENIO POPVLI ROMANI. I can't really make out the exergue; but probably Cyzicus mint...KA KB etc.

    Thanks for the leads. There is a lot of crud over the exergue that I am removing a bit at the time. It will take a while to remove without damage.

    _cyzicus_RIC_027a.jpg There is only one with a star in the right field. I think this is a match.

    Galerius AE Follis. 307 AD. IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS PF AVG, laureate head right / GENIO POPVLI ROMANI, Genius standing left, holding Victory and sceptre, star in right field, mintmark KB.

    Thanks again.

    Here is the final, however, I reserve the right to do some touch up. I think I was able to maintain all the original detail in this one. Galerius AE Follis Final.jpg
