RIC VII, TRIER [before 62], LICINIUS I, UNLISTED ISSUE [HERCVLI INVICTO]

OBVERSE	IMPLICI-[NIVSAVG] [IMP LICINIVS AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	HERCVLI-INVICTO [HERCVLI INVICTO]; Hercules stg. l., r. leaning on club, l. holding lion's skin. PTR in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Not attested in RIC VII. Not listed in Zschucke BTP. Similar to fractions minted for Constantine with SAPIENT PRINCIP rev. (TRIER 62-65). See also Zschucke BTP p. 70-71. Note, however, that this attribution is uncertain. The letters in the exergue are distorted (only T is clear), so it could be HTA, i.e. Heraclea mint which used similar m.m. in 315-317 (cf. HERACLEA 11-15). Otherwise, coin should be listed before TRIER 62.
