<p>[QUOTE="mithridates, post: 2062310, member: 73314"]I'm a new coin talk member and first time posting any of my coins here. This is my first coin of the new year. A Maximinvs II follis from Alexandria mint 308-310. Was actually listed as a Galerius coin and believed it was until after receiving it someone pointed out to me over at Forvm that the obverse legend read Maximinvs instead of Maximianvs like it was listed as. Galerius had exact same type and obverse and reverse legends but somehow the difference of one letter, A, in the spelling of their names was over looked by the dealer and me as well. Still really like the coin, though, even if its not from the emperor I had believed it was for. Obv: IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMINVS P F AVG, Laureate head right. Rev: GENIO IMP-ERATORIS, Genius stg left, modius on head, chlamys over l shoulder, holding patera from which liquor flows & cornucopiae. B/P in r. field, K in l. field. ALE in ex.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
