Hello, with the limited resources of wildwinds that I have to work with, I am unable to locate and identify this coin... Here is the info that came with the item, Maximianus I (286-310 AD.) AE 23mm. Consularbuste Eagle Sceptre Whom ever has better resources than I, can you please look up this coin, I understand it is somewhat rare, but who knows...? Sincerely Steven
Looks to be pretty rare... didn't find one at Wildwinds, acsearch, vcoins, FORVM, or a few others. I found a listing here... but no pictured examples: http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.dio.576 Maximianus RIC V Diocletian 576 Typological Description Date: AD 287 Object Type: Coin Manufacture: Struck Denomination: Antoninianus Material: Silver Authority Authority: Maximian Geographic Mint: Siscia Region: Pannonia Obverse Legend: IMP C MAXIMIANVS AVG Type: Bust of Maximian, radiate, draped, cuirassed, right, or bust of Maximian, radiate, wearing imperial mantle, left, holding eagle-tipped scetpre in right hand Portrait: Maximian Reverse Legend: CLEMENT TEMP or CLEMENTIA TEMP Type: Maximian, draped, cuirassed, standing right, holding sceptre in right hand and receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter; Jupiter, standing left, holding sceptre Portrait: Maximian Deity: Jupiter MintMark: -/-//XXIB or MintMark: A//XXI
Thank you so much for doing this research on my behalf, this is just exactly what I was looking for but to inexperienced to know the places to search... I have bookmarked this research site as an addition to wildwinds, if there are others that you recommend please post their addresses.
