Maximinus II - 305-313 AD - Superb XF-AU Condition!

Ancient Coins - Maximius II Bronze Follis

High Grade Maximinus II Roman Bronze Follis


Each coin is about the size of a Lincoln cent and is in virtually "as struck" condition. The condition of these coins is important as copper alloys such as these are prone to corrosion. It's not unusual for 100 year old bronze coins to be corroded beyond recognition. How did these coins stay so nice for nearly 2000 years? The obverse features a bust of the emperor. The reverse shows a deity in pose.

Maximinus II was made Caesar in the Tetrarchy in 305 A.D. In 311, Maximinus took advantage of the death of Galerius to invade and annex the latter's territory. In 313 A.D., he invaded Licinius' territory, and although he seized many cities his army was utterly destroyed in a battle on the 30th of April. He disguised himself as a slave and fled, falling ill and dying in the city of Tarsus.
