<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 7589561, member: 82549"]It seems that there are a lot of coins of Maximinus II out there that are in really nice condition. They kept reducing the size and weight of these coins, so I image many of them were pulled from circulation and hoarded, giving us lots of beautiful examples today. I have shown the coin below several times before:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1307481[/ATTACH] </p><p>Antioch mint, A.D. 312</p><p>Obv: IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMINVS P F AVG</p><p>Rev: GENIO AVGVSTI - Genius, modius on head, naked but for chlamys hanging from shoulder, holding head of Sol and cornucopiae</p><p>ANT in exergue; ✳ in left field, S in right</p><p>RIC 164b</p><p>22mm, 4.7g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
