Can anyone read the mint?
I know he is a bit grotty, but he is the only Chlorus as Augustus I have.

It looks like a quarter follis to me so it would be from Siscia (SIS). Is it about 4 grams and 20mm?

It is certainly a quarter follis then, these were only made at Siscia. If memory serves about 7 varieties exist of Diocletian, Maximian, Galerius and Constantius.

I have one of these too ....... Somewhere !
I will have to go digging and find it. It was a sharp little bugger that I bought on impulse back around 2001 when ebay got flooded with so much bronze that things were literally selling for 'chump change'.

By coincidence it is also the only Chlorus as AVG that I have in my collection.
