Licinius I Æ Nummus. Contemporary Barbaric(?) imitation. Uncertain mint, after AD 308. IMP VAL LICINIVS P F AVG, laureate head right / CONSERVATORI AVGG, Jupiter standing left, holding Victory on globe in right hand and sceptre in left; eagle at feet to left, SSBΓ(?) in exergue. Unpublished. 1.87g, 15mm, 6h.

Near Extremely Fine. A competent contemporary imitation.

From the collection of V.B., United Kingdom.

Displaying an obverse portrait that is rather barbaric with a heavy jaw with no control letters in the reverse field and a blundered mint signature, this piece is likely a contemporary barbaric imitation and not from an Imperial mint.
