Comment
Seems to have been struck by 2nd officina only.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Licinius I, who was a Roman emperor who ruled from 308 to 324 AD. He was known for his military campaigns against the Sassanid Empire and his efforts to establish Christianity as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which includes the emperor's image and the inscription "DOMINI N LICINI AVG," reflects the imperial ideology of the time, which emphasized the emperor's divine right to rule and his role as the protector of the empire.
