<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2101904, member: 42773&quot;]Great John! Just what we need. Here&#039;s the pertinent diagram from Bruck...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]395514[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like your coin is one of the kids, since you can clearly read IVN NOB C on the obverse. Altar type is from Trier mint, and what&#039;s left of the mint mark does indeed look like STR. The abbreviation of the reverse legend as VICTORIAE LAET PP is also recorded as unique to Trier.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking Licinius II, because there isn&#039;t enough room on the right side of the obverse for either of the two legends of Constantine II that Bruck lists: CL CONSTANTINVS...and CONSTANTINVS.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I&#039;m correct, the coin is unlisted in RIC. The closest RIC comes is VII Trier 232, but 232 has a right-facing radiate bust. I think you&#039;ve got a rare coin there. It&#039;s the first I&#039;ve seen of this variety, anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
