Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 12/03/2017 09:18 am Just picked this one up for my Eastern split set..Nice chunk Galerius Maximianus as Caesar AE Follis minted 297 AD. 11,46 g. 25 mm. Obv: GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES. Laureate Head right Rev: GENIO POPVLI ROMANI/ (crescent)/ D// ANT. Genius standing left, holding cornucopiae and patera. RIC VI 49b Antioch From an old collection formed in the 1920s. Ex Münzhandlung Kallai, Vienna. There's no star above star in left field? The only example in WildWinds has stars.. Any thoughts?

However, I wonder what is below the crescent moon on the right rec field. Square alpha with underscore? Side view of a picnic table? step ladder?

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 12/04/2017 05:47 am Thanks for the replies.. @antwerpen2306...Thats great thanks for the correct attribution I've updated the OP..I know this coin isn't rare but there are no examples on wildwinds should I contact them and give my coin as an example to increase their data base? One other question ,when a coin is not shown on wildwinds is there a way of reading the RIC volumes online without having to pay? Thanks again Saludos Paul Edited by Palouche 12/04/2017 05:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
