When I went looking for coins to use in the Smackdown, I checked my binder and found only the Shah of Persia...I thought the unattributed pile might yield something, it might have but I was to lazy and didn't have enough time to improve the appearance of them, so I checked...the sock drawer and eureka, there was a couple of coins in their that fit the bill(I have coins scattered all about the house BTW.)This one has a strange patina and is "Silvered" I don't believe it is in the best shape and probably why it was relegated to the sock drawer.

Here he is...


Licinius I 308-324 AD
Struck Nicomedia, Anatolia 317-320 AD ?
19.2mm x 2.87g
obverse: Laurate draped bust of Licinius I Left scepter in left hand Mappa in right hand-IMP LICI NIVS AVG
reverse: Jupiter standing left, cload over left shoulder Victory on globe in right hand, Palm in left field, Z bottom right fieild-IOVI CONS-ERVATORI AVGG-In ex. SMN (Nicomedia)?
