<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2424695, member: 19463&quot;]One we have not shown is the rare antoninianus issue for Maximianus (also for Diocletian) by Carausius from his British mints.&nbsp; Carausius wanted to be recognized by the emperors of East and West as the rightful ruler of the North.&nbsp; They did not see it that way so you will not find Rome mint coins for Carausius.&nbsp; The best part of these coins is the reverse legend ending AVGGG indicating there were three Augusti but my coin&#039;s poor centering put the AVGGG off flan.&nbsp; Can&#039;t win them all.&nbsp; The London MLXXI mintmark shows this coin was an AVGGG issue. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]502962[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The last coins for Maximianus were issued by Constantine the Great following the death of his father-in-law.&nbsp; Similar consecration coins were made for his father Constantius I and claimed ancestor Claudius II </p><p>[ATTACH=full]502963[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
