Æ24 - Maximinus AVG T (OA) COL? (or COL ALEXA..)

Maximinus Thrax never visited Alexandria Troas — his three-year reign was consumed almost entirely by Rhine and Danube campaigns, and he was dead before ever setting foot in Asia Minor. The city nonetheless issued bronze in his name, as it had for his predecessors, leveraging its colonial status under the Roman framework that permitted civic coinage. The abbreviation COL in the legend signals that status, though readings vary between COL ALEXA and abbreviated forms, and die attribution for this type remains unsettled among specialists.
