This is absolutely fabulous !
I have ten Galerius folles of London (each one splendid in its own way !)
But I have never seen one of Galerius as Augustus before
I am going to assume this is extremely rare
And the legend ...... IN ? I have never seen it ...... meaning ?
Galerius was Diocletians man in the East
Is there a similar Constantius type ?
If you ever want to part I am heavy on London
I would surrender a tetrarchy for it
At least !

To be clear
I have never previously seen this Obverse legend
In my excitement I was at a loss for words
