Allectus it is!

Guess-The-Emperor,-Caesar,-Or-Empress

from wildwinds

Quote:
Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. Printed Auctions
Sale: CNG 70, Lot: 1061. Closing Date: Wednesday, 21 September 2005. Estimate $300 Sold For $650
ALLECTUS. Romano-British Emperor, 293-296 AD. Double 'Quinarius' (5.74 g, 1h). Londinium (London) mint. Radiate and cuirassed bust right / Galley right; QL. Cf. RIC V 55; cf. Burnett, Allectus 111. Good VF. Unpublished double-weight specimen. ($300)

The VIRTVS AVG galley type is often used on quinarii of Allectus from the London mint, but is unknown on his antoniniani. The average quinarius weighs about 2.56-2.76 grams and most antoniniani weigh between 4-5 grams. Since this reverse type is employed only on quinarii, and the present coin is only slightly more than double the weight of the usual Allectus quinarius, it is plausible to suggest that this may be an unpublished denomination of Allectus, the double quinarius.

From the CNG Mail Bid Sale 70.

Way to throw down that gauntlet. Guess I'll spend the evening scouring pictures instead of taking care of other adult responsibilities :D
