NOT IN RIC

UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC does not list Licinius' II coins from London Beata series (p. 110-115). Note unusual obv. legend: ...NOB CA instead of ...NOB CAES or ...NOB C. Note also that reading of both legends is uncertain because of a small flan. Probably an ancient imitation. Could be noted after LONDON 252.
