Maximianus HERCVLI CONSERVATORI from London

Here's a scarce type from London. Though he is supposed to be retired, Maximianus is confirming his established authority. He is also openly opposing Galerius at this point.

Very nice coin, Victor. After all these decades, I still don't own an ancient, from London.

 

You are missing out. It's probably the most popular mint since so many people can identify with London.

 

I know, it's just not something that's been on my radar. I've never been focused on mints, not even when I collected U.S. coins. I'm sure I will add one, some day.

 

just in today from England, another London coin
