quiz--what is this

I just got this one from eBay. I know what it is; but figured it would make an interesting quiz. This is actually a fairly rare coin and this should be tough, unless you specialize in this area. I will post the description later today. The coin is pretty rough but is identifiable. Seller's pic below--

Divus Galerius AE2 from Alexandria; but I cannot seem to find an example online with just one letter in the reverse fields. Nice coin!

 

almost spot on

 

Antioch mint?

Bust style indicates Alexandria though. Hmm. I will keep looking.

 

It was tricky because it is an unlisted Antioch posthumous issue, several are known though.



Galerius
A.D. 311
DIVO MAXIMIANO MAXIMINVS AVG FIL; Laureate head of Galerius to right.
AETERNAE MEMORIAE GALERI MAXIMIANI; Large altar with flames, decorated with eagle standing left on wreath, head turned to right and holding wreath in beak; I in right field.
In ex ANT
RIC VI Antioch --


here is what a nice example looks like

 

That is indeed a rarity - and with that particular letter in the right field, possibly unique? I couldn't find one exactly like it on ACSearch, anyway.

 

it's the first example from workshop I that I am aware of.

 

I like the attention to the details. Not the same but a similar piece.
