    Licinius II
    AE follis – 19mm
    Siscia, 320 AD
    Laureate, draped bust l., Victory on globe in right hand, mappa in left hand
    LIC-INIVS IVN NOB CAES
    banner with VOT X between two captives
    VIRTVS-EXERCIT
    S in l. field, F over HL in r., ΔSIS in ex.
    RIC VII Siscia 132, r1


    I've had my eye out for this type for a while. If I'm correct, it was only used very briefly on coins from Siscia.

    Ardtirion, I like that coin a lot. I have a few of the father but none of II. This is one I like for the reverse. Genius holding a head.
