RIC VI, ROMA 87b, GALERIUS MAXIMIAN, MINTMARK VARIETY

OBVERSE	GALVALMAXIMIANVSNOBC [GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB C]; bust r., rad., dr., with or without cuir.
REVERSE	VOT/XX in two lines in wreath.
NOT IN RIC	MINTMARK VARIETY. Specimen similar to ROMA 87b except for absence of officina letter. See footnote 2 on p. 359: "These common coins have been studied and recorded with insufficient care. It appears that there were examples (of which Vienna contains a number) without any officina-letter—a separate issue, or result of error in engraving ?". Judging from quantity, "a separate issue" is far more probable than "error in engraving".
