UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. RIC lists for this issue only legend IMP C DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG (p. 425). General note about this issue from p. 415: "The celebrations of 303 produced also an ample issue of fractional radiate coins of c. 3.0 gm., with dies ↑↑ or ↑↓. Their reverses are VOT X (for the Caesars) or VOT XX (for the Augusti), and they are all signed FK = Felix Karthago: no officina is indicated". Coin should be listed after CARTHAGO 37a.

Coin sold on eBay in December 2008 for $8.50. Another specimen, probably with the same obv. legend, from Jeff Clark's collection [click for picture].
