<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 26111170, member: 10613&quot;]This coin is a trifecta for me-- unlisted, hoard coin and a plate coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665361[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maximianus</p><p>A.D. 299- 301</p><p>Ӕ follis&nbsp;&nbsp; 27mm&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.0g</p><p>IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG; laureate head right; slight drapery on left shoulder.</p><p>GENIO POPVLI ROMANI; Genius standing left, modius on head, naked but for chlamys over left shoulder, right holding patera.</p><p>In ex.

As most of the coins were returned to the finders, the market has been saturated with ex Rauceby coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also a plate coin in &quot;Recent Discoveries of Tetrarchic Hoards from Roman Britain and their Wider Context&quot; British Museum Research Publication 236 as coin #843; though it is misdescribed as RIC VI Trier 96b; as no mention of the slight drapery is made. So it is still not listed correctly in any publication.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also happened to be looking for a nice example of the club mintmark for my collection of Maximianus coins referencing Hercules.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://constantinethegreatcoins.com/Hercules/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://constantinethegreatcoins.com/Hercules/" rel="nofollow">https://constantinethegreatcoins.com/Hercules/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
