[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 4733166, member: 77226"]Here's a rare one... I've only been able to find one other in many hours of internet searching (seems to be an obverse but not a reverse die match). There is a similar coin (RIC 75) with just a cuirassed bust that is rare itself but with a draped & cuirassed bust this coin goes from rare to very rare. [ATTACH=full]1158444[/ATTACH] [B]Maximinus II[/B] Obv: IMP MAXIMINVS PF AVG. Laureate, draped & cuirassed bust right Rev: GENIO POP ROM. Genius standing left, holding cornucopiae & patera from which water flows. Mintmark MOSTT Ref: RIC VI Ostia 77a. 312-313 ad Edit: I saw you mentioned no Maxentius... but missed the part about a Constantine controlled mint. This coin was issued under Maxentius... so not what you're looking for but still a fun coin.[/QUOTE]
