    I have had a general background interest in the coinage of Lugdunum for years. The pre-reform issues of Constantius Chlorus and Galerius are relatively hard to find compared to Diocletian and Maximianus Herculius. I have owned a small number but finding them is better condition has been tricky. This is the best condition example that I have found in about 10 years of collecting them. It is a more common type.

    Galerius Antoninianus

    Obv:– GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB C, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right
    Rev:– CONCORDIA AVGG, Two concordia holding hands, each holding cornucopiae
    Minted in Lugdunum (//B). Emission 10, Officina 2. 1st March to 20th November A.D. 293
    Reference:– Cohen 19. Bastien 512 (25). RIC 678 Bust Type C (C)

    Weight 3.81g. 22.64mm. 180 degrees
