UNLISTED ISSUE. Æ medallions of the rulers of the First Tetrarchy with three Monetae on reverse are omitted both in RIC V/2 and RIC VI. Apparently most of these coins belong to the pre-reform coinage, but the present author decided to include them in this supplement. Note that the weight of individual specimens could vary significantly (from less than 20 g to 40 g and more). Listed in Gnecchi II (p. 126, no. 23).

NOTES

Æ medallion. Weight 22.42 g; diameter 33.3 mm. From the Bibliothèque nationale de France (IFN-11353225).
