RIC VI, THESSALONICA [before 43], GALERIUS MAXIMIAN, UNLISTED FOR RULER

OBVERSE	MAXIMIA-NVSPFAVG [MAXIMIANVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	IOVICONSE-RVATORI [IOVI CONSERVATORI]; Jupiter stg. l., chlamys hanging from l. shoulder, r. holding thunderbolt, l. leaning on sceptre. Reversed sigma in right field. •SM•TS• in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED FOR RULER. RIC attested this type for Licinius only [THESSALONICA 43]. Note also similarity in obv. legend pattern [LICINIVS P F AVG]. Both coins belong to the same issue, obviously minted before Galerius' death, and therefore should be listed in the Group III.
