RIC VII, TICINUM 123, LICINIUS I, MINTMARK VARIETY

OBVERSE	IMPLI-CINIVSAVG [IMP LICINIVS AVG]; bust r., helmeted, cuir.
REVERSE	VIRTVS-EXERCIT [VIRTVS EXERCIT]; standard with VOT/XX inscribed on drapery; captive on ground on either side. P*T in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	MINTMARK VARIETY. RIC lists unique specimen with officina P and crescent instead of star: rather anomalous variety for this issue. See footnote 123 on p. 377: "Exceptional mark. Maur. [Maurice, Numismatique constantinienne], ibid., rev. II. 3, records an obv. 2 (D2), m.m. P*T in L., but the coin is not to be found. CG [Catalogue Gerin] records a similar coin, though the m.m. is given as R*T; not to be found".
