Licinius II VLPP from Siscia
« on: May 28, 2021, 09:21:17 AM »
Here's another ex- Ex-Peter Weiß coin. This one has a workshop not in RIC; but there was an example illustrated in the Bikić-Do Hoard as #403.

This coin might be the plate coin, except the weight given in Sirmium VIII is 3.65; while this coin weighs 2.8g. So, if not an error, at least a die match. There are weights given for two coins-- workshop Γ and Δ and the Γ is 2.8, so maybe transposed. Especially note the green encrustation in the mintmark on my coin and compare with the plate coin.
