<< < (2/2)

Victor:
another example that just sold for $153.16

19mm   3.3gm

Victor:
here's an example with a radiate bust

Licinius II
A.D. 321
18mm   2.9gm
LICINIVS IVN NOB C; radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right.
BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS; globe set on altar inscribed VOT/IS/XX; above, three stars.
In ex. [P]TR
RIC VII Trier 311

Genio popvli romani:
I think it is an imitation because the mintmark is TR. I don't believe the die is obliterated, TR is well centered at exergue.
And the reverse legend is not BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS but BEATA TRAN-QVILLITANS.
Note also the "crude" style of both legends, particularly NOB C which looks like NOP C.

Did you buy it?

Victor:
I did not notice the misspelling of the reverse legend, thanks for pointing it out. As you say, it must be unofficial. Yes, I bought this coin.
