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. 129, no. 14).

NOTES

Æ medallion. Weight 18.49 g; diameter 33 mm. Sold sold on Numismatik Lanz auction 100 (lot 468) in November 2000 for DEM 1,800.

Other specimens:

- from Gnecchi II (plate 127, no. 3); weight 20.50 g; diameter 33 mm; rev. legend breaks O-N and V-G [click for picture].
