Licinius II VIRTVS EXECRCIT from Trier
« on: August 14, 2013, 02:08:29 PM »
This coin is unlisted in RIC with a star in the right field. Trier 256 has a star in the left field. Lech has an example on his Not in RIC page, which is listed as a probable engravers error. It could be an error, but this example is from a different die, which makes it seem more probable that it is an unlisted issue. The second picture is the coin on Lech's site.

The second example form different dies changes situation, so I also changed my description.
