Beschrijving keerzijde The Genius of the Roman People stands facing left, nude save for a mural crown (turreted), with a chlamys draped over the left shoulder and arm. He holds a patera in his extended right hand, from which a libation is poured, and a cornucopiae in his left hand, symbolizing abundance and divine favor. The legend GENIO POP ROM flanks the figure in the field, divided to either side. The mint mark PLN appears in the exergue, identifying the London mint (Londinium), and the design is enclosed within a beaded border.

Aanvullende informatie

Maximinus II spent years frozen in the second tier of the Tetrarchic hierarchy — granted the title of Caesar in 305 by Galerius but denied the Augustus rank he felt owed, a slight that would eventually push him toward open conflict with his superiors. This Londinium issue dates to a particularly unstable moment in that system's unraveling, when Constantine had already been acclaimed Augustus in the same city the previous year following his father Constantius's death, a move that directly destabilized the careful succession Diocletian had constructed.

The PLN officina mark places this firmly at the London mint before its closure circa 325.
