Just won this little group of LTR with a minimum offer of 15â,¬.
Five are 1$ coins but there is also a special one... ;)
I presume it's the small fraction of... is that Galerius w/ MAXIMIANVS N C obverse legend?
Good eyes!
It's a Galerius Maximianus fraction (1/8 of follis)
MAXIMIANVS NC
VOT XX CAESS
RIC VI Trier 611b (R3!)
I have seen a few of these on different occasions but, although interesting and quite scarce, I never actively engaged in trying to collect them, mostly because the specimens I noticed were usually in poor and unappealing condition.
This one looks better than most!
Collectiong these fractions could be interesting but it's of course a really hard and slow work.
They are all fairly rare, above all in nice condition like this, and expensive.
