UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Obv. legend LICINIVS P AVG is attested only for the earlier issues (TRIER 250, TRIER 259 and TRIER 267). However, Bruun mentions in footnote 294 on p. 189 that "CG [Voetter's Gerin Catalogue] records the obv. legend LICINIVS P AVG and also off. P (without dot) of the obv. 2 (D2): neither to be found". Coin should be listed after TRIER 295.
