[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 24703321, member: 10613"]I just won this coin from eBay. It is a scarcer type for Maxentius and was issued for his quinquennalia (5 year anniversary). This coin was sold in a CNG auction in 2019 (eAuction 453 #626) and I won it on eBay for about half the hammer of the CNG auction. The hidden bit, which wasn't mentioned in the eBay auction, was that this coin is also a plate coin in [B]Le monnayage de Maxence[/B] by Vincent Drost (122c/17). [ATTACH=full]1577967[/ATTACH] Maxentius A.D. 310- 311 Half follis 20mm 2.9g MAXENTIVS P F AVG; Helmeted and cuirassed bust left, holding spear over right shoulder and shield on left.
