I am generally a bottom feeder in the great coin pool and will accept a rare into my collection in poor condition or a problem coin if I stumble across something I would otherwise never obtain.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following coin comes into that category.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maximian took on the name Herculius and is here depicted with the attributes of Hercules. Holding a club and with a lion skin over his shoulder. These attributes take this from an ordinary to a desirable coin even in this condition.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Maximianus Herculius - Follis</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv:– IMP C MAXIMIANVS AVG, Laureate, cuirassed bust left, holding club over right shoulder and lion&#039;s skin in left hand</p><p>Rev:– GENIO POP-VLI ROMANI, Genius standing left, modius on head, naked but for chlamys over left shoulder, left hand holding cornucopiae and right hand holding patera, plain altar beneath.</p><p>Minted in Lugdunum (_ | A //PLC).
