| Reverse description | The personification of Securitas stands facing, her head turned to the left, draped in a long garment with legs elegantly crossed. Her right hand is raised to rest upon her head in the canonical pose of repose and security, while her left arm leans upon a tall column for support. A six-pointed star appears in the left field as an additional decorative and possibly votive element. The reverse legend SECVRITAS AVGG is divided across the field, and the mintmark PLN — denoting the Prima officina of the Londinium mint — is placed in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
Licinius never set foot in Britain. These London issues bearing his name were struck as a political formality following the agreement at Carnuntum in November 308, where Diocletian came out of retirement to broker an awkward peace between competing claimants. The PLN mintmark places this firmly at the London mint during its final active years — the facility was closed by Constantine around 325, making the entire London output of Licinius's reign a narrow, historically terminal series.
