That is SHARP ro! The details are fantastic! Cool mint mark also, I think. What is that after (delta)SIS? Crecent with a star or something? Or is that part of the captive?
Did the engraver of your coin also carve the dies for mine? The style of the reverses is uncannily similar...
I'm jealous, I just got the daddy, but after seeing your coin I think I need to add the son too. I was saving it for a write up but I think the cat is out of the bag now. Licinius I London Mint. Are you noticing a pattern? Although I'm certainly adding non-London mint coins for the tetrarchy and the Constantine period, I've been snapping up any good London mint examples I come across. Have had several imported from Europe as they don't seem to come up as much in the states (certainly not in this condition). @jamesicus has gotten me hooked on the London mint Roman products.
