Watch List notes:

Maximinus I, 235-238. Denarius (Silver, 20mm, 2.56 g 6), Rome, 235-236. IMP MAXIMINVS PIVS AVG Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Maximinus I to right. Rev. FIDES MILITVM Fides standing facing, her head turned to left, holding a military standard in each hand. Cohen 7. RIC 7A. Attractive example struck on a braod flan. Slightly porous, otherwise, extremely fine.


This early portrait type is clearly based on that of Severus Alexander and shows that the mint personnel did not know exactly what Maximinus looked like!
