Here is another Galerius Ant. from Lugdunum after the one I shared here recently:- https://www.cointalk.com/threads/galerius-ant-from-lugdunum.331491/ Obv:– GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB C, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right Rev:– IOVI AVGG, Jupiter seated left, holding victory on globe in right hand and leaning on scepter in left hand Minted in Lugdunum (//I). Emission 11, Officina 3. November to End A.D. 293 Reference(s) – Cohen 115. Bastien -. Bastien Suppl I -. Bastien Suppl II 537 Alpha (2 examples cited). RIC 679 Bust Type C (C) Rated common in RIC but no examples cited in Bastien or Bastien Suppl. I and only 2 examples cited in Bastien Supplement II. 3.96 gms, 23.38 mm. 0 degrees Is this an example of a coin described as Common in RIC V but turns out to be harder to find in reality?
Definitely rare. I've come across only one of this type and it was a different officina. Ok if I add this to my database? I'd like to add it to my work on this emperor. I would also like your name if possible.
Great coin! I don't have any Galerius from Lugdunum but the much more common Maximian and Diocletian of a different reverse. Maximianus Ob: IMP C VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right R: IOVI CONSERVATORI, Jupiter standing left, holding thunderbolt in right hand and scepter in left hand. Minted in Lugdunum (Retrograde C in left field). Emission 2. Officina 3. Spring to Summer A.D. 286 Cohen 362. RIC V Pt. 2 Lugdunum 388 Bust Type C. Bastien Volume VII 64 (6 examples cited). Diocletian Ob: IMP C C VAL DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG, Radiate draped and cuirassed bust right (seen from rear).

RIC V pt. 2 Lugdunum 41 Bust type C. Bastien 21 (20 examples cited) (haha... btw, I think when I was researching my coins, I found your similar coins in your Forvm gallery and borrowed your attribution information.)
I meant to ask for your last name via a private message but I don't know how to do this :-( If you'd rather your name not be published then ignore this request. Again, thanks!
