Also, we haven't seen the Genius holding the head of Sol yet, so here's an example: [ATTACH] Maximinus II ("Daia") Caesar, A.D. 305-309 Filius...
The GENIO series also appears on a curious subset of 1/4 nummi from Siscia. Note the size and weight of this one: [ATTACH] Severus II Caesar,...
Actually, when I saw #1 and #2, the first thing I thought was "tourist copies." #3 has a countermark on the obverse. I assume this one is legit,...

I'm not sure where it's from, but I agree that it's Marcus Aurelius as Caesar. The obverse portrait looks like him, and it has the same obverse...
