VAL LICINNIANVS LICINNIVS P F AVG, laureate head right / GENIO A-VGVSTI, Genius standing facing, head left, holding cornucopia and patera; B/(star)//MKV. Cf. RIC VI 62 and 66. Good VF. Apparently unpublished.


The reverse of this type would point toward the emission of circa AD 310, yet neither coins of Licinius nor from the second officina are recorded. They are, however, seen from the emission of the following year (RIC VI 66), though not with the star in the right field.
