<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4074258, member: 44316&quot;]I just changed my avatar to the obverse of this follis of Diocletian which is a new acquisition. The reverse type is very common, but the obverse is special for its helmeted bust left. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1063960[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>26 mm. 8.40 grams.</p><p>B&nbsp;&nbsp; *&nbsp; field marks</p><p>&nbsp; TR&nbsp;&nbsp; in exergue</p><p>RIC VI Trier --, cf. pages 184ff where it is combination 1h/Z where Z is listed only for Maximian and Constantius, series of numbers 264-373, struck &quot;298-9.&quot;</p><p>Sear IV --, but its number would be near 12762.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this time period there are many coins not exactly in RIC.
