[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2196005, member: 31620"]I have been waiting for this coin for a month. Am so relieved it finally arrived. [B]Maximinus II Daia - Follis [/B] Obv:– IMP C GALER VAL MAXIMINVS P F AVG, Laureate head right Rev:– BONI GENIO PII IMPERATORIS, Genius, naked but for chlamys fastened at his right shoulder and hanging from his left shoulder, standing facing, head left, wearing modius, holding patera in right hand and ornate cornucopia in left arm behind Minted in Alexandria (Crescent / K | Gamma / X // ALE). Reference(s) – RIC VI Alexandria 144b (Rated Common) Whilst rated common by RIC I suspect it to be slightly more unusual than the standard Genius issues. The obverse legend has the longer form of GALER for GAL and the reverse legend has the more unsual BONI GENIO PII form. A pleasant looking coin in decent grade with lots of subdued silvering.
