<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24667424, member: 26430&quot;]Very interesting coin! This isn&#039;t really my area so I could miss something, but I don&#039;t see any in ACSearch.</p><p><br /></p><p>In RIC / OCRE, I think this bust type is described as &quot;holding spear forward&quot; (unlike the usual holding the spear over his shoulder). I searched for <i>&quot;IMP MAXIMIANVS&quot; holding spear forward shield genius</i> and got 8 results (RIC 174b, 184, 280b, 285, 287, 298, 301b, 316b; which can be further narrowed by choosing among &quot;P AVG&quot; &quot;P F AVG&quot; or just &quot;AVG&quot;), all from the Treveri mint (Trier/Treves) -- but none of which are illustrated, so it must be rare!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=%22imp+maximianvs%22+holding+spear+forward+shield+genius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=%22imp+maximianvs%22+holding+spear+forward+shield+genius" rel="nofollow">https://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=&quot;imp+maximianvs&quot;+holding+spear+forward+shield+genius</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If the obverse legend is &quot;IMP MAXIMIANVS AVG,&quot; then it doesn&#039;t seem to be listed, as the only option has him helmeted as well. RIC VI 316b (Trier, 298/99 CE): <a href="https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.tri.316b" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.tri.316b" rel="nofollow">https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.tri.316b</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If &quot;...
