UNLISTED ISSUE. Æ medallions of the rulers of the first Tetrarchy with three Monetae on reverse are omitted both in RIC V/2 and RIC VI. Judging from portraits, part of them belongs to the pre-reform coinage, but the present writer decided not to make his own, and rather arbitrary, division of this material. Note that there are at least two different issues: lighter (c. 20 g), probably earlier, and heavier (over 30 g).
