Maximinus II GENIO AVGVSTI from Cyzicus

[Victor]

This coin is the same as Cyzicus 84a, except this one has a dot in the left field. RIC 95 has a dot in left field; but the reverse legend ends with CMH and there is no eagle. Footnote for 95—“Maurice includes an issue with GENIO AVGVSTI alone, almost certainly in error.” The preceding issue (RIC 81-82) has a dot in right field; but mintmark of MKVA.

[Lech Stępniewski]

I believe that this type belongs to the issue with dot (CYZICUS 95-99). Dot is placed variously, like mintmark letters in some issues from Alexandria.

Yes, I just saw that you had this very coin already on your site.
