This coin has some interesting details. Lots of little stuff going on and the engraver even included toes on Jupiter's left foot. There is also a line going through the beard of Licinius...maybe an engraving aid or remnants of a mistake. Licinius I A.D. 313- 314 21x22mm 3.0g IMP C VAL LICIN LICINIVS PF AVG; laureate head right. IOVI CONS-ERVATORI AVGG; Jupiter standing l., chlamys across l. shoulder, leaning on sceptre and holding Victory on globe in r. hand; eagle with wreath to l. on ground, in right field Γ. in ex. SMHT RIC VI Heraclea 73; RIC VII Heraclea 6
That is a very nice, sharply struck coin! Yes, the toes are odd, but in the early 4th century they probably weren't keeping count. That foot actually looks as if it was reengraved at some point. Why, I even guess.
I think the line across the beard is a mistake. It seems too deep a cut to be an engraver aid, especially when compared to the circle aids used for the legends and overall framing. Perhaps the engraver had spent the previous shift doing Constantines and was going for a beardless jawline before he realised he'd engraved Licinius in the legend ?
Beautiful OP coin. Sharp details. My Licinius II coin. Spot the differences on the reverse Licinius II Follis, struck AD 321-324 at Alexandria mint. Obv. D N VAL LICIN LICINIVS NOB C, helmeted and cuirassed bust left, holding spear over shoulder and with shield on left arm. Rev. IOVI CONSERVATORI / SMALA (in exergue), Jupiter standing left holding Victory and scepter, eagle and captive at feet, XIIΓ in right field. 20 mm, 3,43 gr. RIC 30
@Marsman ....What's ontop of the sceptre? Your coin was obviously minted in the cold months of winter.
