Comment
Seems to be the same as RIC 106Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Maximinus II (GENIO POP ROM, PLN; Londinium) coin is that it features the image of a Roman Emperor, Maximinus II, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his achievements, Maximinus II's reign was marked by controversy and he was eventually assassinated by his own soldiers in 310 AD. The coin, which was minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of the Roman Empire.
