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. 19; not illustrated).

NOTES

Æ medallion; silvered. Weight 19.42 g. Coin sold on Tkalec Auction 2007 (lot 336) in April 2007 for CHF 40,000.
