SPECTACULAR HERCULES REVERSE - Maximianus. - 286-305 AD. Aureus, 5.54g (6h). Rome, 294 AD. Obv: MAXIMIA - NVS P F AVG Head laureate right. Rx: HERCVLI - DEBELLAT around, PROM in exergue, Hercules, nude, standing right, raising club to slay the hydra, one of whose five heads he grasps with his left hand, while the hydra wraps its tail around Hercules' left leg. Calicó 4662 (same dies). Cf. Cohen 255 (Hercules standing left, 300 Fr.). Mint State
Note
Apparently only the second recorded specimen with Hercules standing right rather than left on the reverse, after the example illustrated by Calicó which is the same as NAC 49, 2008, Biaggi, 428; Biaggi 1786; and M. Ratto, 26 January 1955, 1082. Depeyrot 9/7, p. 83, cites this same coin, but fails to note the variant reverse type, mistakenly equating it with seven other specimens showing Hercules standing left
