Excellent late portrait of the Roman Emperor Maximinus I on the obverse. This ancient roman coin would make a welcome addition to anyone collecting portraits of each Emperor. Worn dies appear to have been used on the reverse. Maximinus Thrax (otherwise known as Maximinus I) was Roman Emperor from 235 to 238 AD. One of 6 emperors during the Year of the Six Emperors, his short reign was marred by continuous plotting against him. His life was ended at the hands of his own soldiers during the Siege of Aquileia.
I, Peter A. Piliouras of Ancient Coin Traders irrevocably guarantee for life to the Purchaser that this ancient coin is authentic. If this coin is deemed not to be authentic by a professional certification service, then I will refund to the Purchaser the full cost of acquiring the coin (including shipping) together with the certification fees.
