RIC VI, ROMA, GALERIUS MAXIMIAN, UNLISTED ISSUE [MONETA AVGG]

OBVERSE	MAXIMIAN-VSNO-BCAES [MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES]; bust l., laur., cuir., spear across r. shoulder, shield on l. arm.
REVERSE	MONE-TAAV-G-G [MONETA AVGG]; three Monetae stg. l., each holding scale and cornucopiae.
NOT IN RIC	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. 132, no. 6).
