UNLISTED ISSUE, HYBRID. RIC does not list such rev. for Maximinus. However, he never held seventh consulship so this coin must be a hybrid. Obverse ANTIOCHIA 127a (Wien RÖ 38688, 5.30 g, 19.1 mm) with reverse ANTIOCHIA 79 (München 18-00259, 5.34 g, 19.5 mm), probably from the same die.

Listed in Depeyrot (p. 143, no. 26/4; regarded as hybrid). Coin should be listed in RIC after ANTIOCHIA 127a.

NOTES

Aureus. Weight 5.30 g. From Jacob Hirsch auction XXIV (lot 2539).
