NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Not attested for this issue (cf. CARTHAGO 37b) and for any other Maximianus' coins from Carthago (known only for Siscia).

General note from p. 415: "The celebrations of 303 produced also an ample issue of fractional radiate coins of c. 3.0 gm., with dies ↑↑ or ↑↓. Their reverses are VOT X (for the Caesars) or VOT XX (for the Augusti), and they are all signed FK = Felix Karthago: no officina is indicated".

Coin should be listed before CARTHAGO 37b.
