<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7857217, member: 97383"]For the last several years I've been looking for a nummus (follis) of co-emperor Maximian from the Lugdunum Mint (Lyon, France), to complete a set of the 4 members of the 1st Tetrarchy from that mint, & recently found an example that I liked pictured below <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The coin had to be high grade to fit with the others; maybe that's why it has taken so long. To make the challenge even grater prices for high grade examples have surged since the Covid-19 pandemic began. I have similar sets of 4 from the London, Ticinum, Trier & Cyzicus mints <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1353900[/ATTACH] </p><p>Pictured below are examples of the other 3 members from that mint including a nummus of Constantius I, after he was given the title of Augustus in AD 305.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1353901[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1353902[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1353905[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1353906[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that surprised me was the NGC label on the recently acquired Maximian coin.

[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7857217, member: 97383"]For the last several years I've been looking for a nummus (follis) of co-emperor Maximian from the Lugdunum Mint (Lyon, France), to complete a set of the 4 members of the 1st Tetrarchy from that mint, & recently found an example that I liked pictured below :happy:. The coin had to be high grade to fit with the others; maybe that's why it has taken so long.

[ATTACH=full]1353900[/ATTACH] Pictured below are examples of the other 3 members from that mint including a nummus of Constantius I, after he was given the title of Augustus in AD 305.
