Licinius I. AD 308-324. Æ Follis (20.5mm, 3.37 g, 6h). Londinium (London) mint. Struck late AD 314-early 315. Laureate and cuirassed bust right / Sol standing left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, holding globe in left hand; S|P//MSN. RIC VII –; C&T 8.07.023 (2) (this coin cited and illustrated). Brown patina, weakly struck obverse. VF.

From the Paul DiMarzio Collection. Ex Lee Toone Collection (Spink 231, 22 September 2015), lot 97, purchased from Mike Vosper at the Harrogate Coin Fair for £190, March 2009.

From Lee Toone: Extremely rare. A variant of CT 8.07.023, this mintmark MSN is either a conflation of MLN and MSL or a previously unrecorded mintmark. A similar MSN variant is known for CT 8.07.010. Only four other coins with this mintmark are known.
