[QUOTE="Ian, post: 203866, member: 283"]Just bought this one and can do with a little help to fully attribute it. It's not in particularly brilliant condition to start with, but I know very little about the coinage of this particular time frame and the mints involved. The obverse is the radiate bust of Licinius I with the legend IMP C VAL LICIN LICINIUS PF AUG (which I think expands to `Imperator Caesar Valerius Licinianus Licinius Pius Felix Augustus) The reverse has Jupeter standing with an eagle at his feet and the legend reads `IOVI CONSERVATORI' (`Jupiter protects'). What I am unsure of is what looks to me like `X III' in the reverse right hand field, and SNNA in the reverse exergue. I'm sure the latter is the mint, but I know nada concerning same. Anyone clued up on these mint abbreviations? [IMG]http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/922025.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
