<p>[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 7876147, member: 77226"]Great information, thank you! I attributed this coin through finding similar examples and there seems to be some confusion with auction attributions on these Maximinus coins with a “B” officina. Some listings mentioned this being maybe the case of accidentally pairing a Galerius reverse with a Maximinus obverse. It’s more interesting to me to think that this was intentional and Maximinus was “movin’ on up.” So at the time this coin was minted, Severus II was either dead or being ignored like Galerius? Why mint for Galerius’ Caesar? I’m guessing there was some either friendliness there, or it was just Galerius that was being the squeaky wheel about the new entrants into the western leadership.</p><p><br /></p><p>…and before I lead this thread of Maximinus as Caesar coins from Trier thread too far astray… here’s my lone Maximinus II as Ceasar from Trier:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1357580[/ATTACH]</p><p>Maximinus II - Trier - RIC VI 667b[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
