Maximinus II CONCORD IMPERII from Alexandria

[Victor]

my latest Maximinus. Another coin rated in common in RIC; but it seems a little harder to find than that would indicate. I hesitate to use the phrase "finest example known" but it is pretty sharp.

This coin is sort of a gift to myself; though I would have bought it regardless. It's my 22nd anniversary today and the gift for that year is copper and this is close enough.

S-P across the reverse might stand for Sacra Pecunia, similar to the SACRA MONETA types issued in Central and Western mints at the same time.
