Laureate and cuirassed bust right / Mars standing right, holding spear in right hand and resting left on shield; –|–//PLN. RIC VI –; C&T 5.03.011 (this coin cited and illustrated). Brown patina. VF. Very rare.

From the Paul DiMarzio Collection. Ex Lee Toone Collection (Spink 233, 2 December 2015), lot 659, purchased from John Philpotts at the York Coin Fair for £300, 18 January 2013.

From Lee Toone: “A very rare reverse type for this period. The series of which this coin type is a part was only struck for a month or so at the end of 307 just before Constantine I became Augustus and is thought to celebrate the alliance between Maximian and Constantine.” For further information see C&T pp. 48-49.
