<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daniel_R6, post: 3008646, member: 91145&quot;]I’m pleased to share my latest acquisition, a follis of Maximian struck at Trier. The coin itself has a glossy, dark patina and good preservation of details (nice enough that I worry it might not be genuine, though I have nothing else to base this on and little experience myself).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]745820[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe it is RIC 504 or 516b, <b>and I’d appreciate any confirmation or correction</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse on RIC 504 is described as ‘modius on head’ and on RIC 516b it is described as ‘head towered’.
