My dad stumbled upon this cool bronze coin (biggest ancient I have at the moment) at a coin shop and gave this to me since he knew I liked this stuff. Maximinus II Daia AD 305-313 Bronze Follis Obverse: Laurete head right. GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB CAES Reverse: Genius standing, holding cornucopia and patera. GENIO CAESARIS
Nice find. There are some very attractive, satisfying coins from this era. Here are two of mine, but the one with the glossy green patina is impossible to photograph, and I've given up trying to do better. They feel good in the hand. As you say, they are larger and heavier than later LRB's.
