Commentary
Poids léger. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé avec cette erreur de marque d’atelier (SKM au lieu de SMK) et de la marque d’officine (II pour H). Et cependant, nous ne semblons pas avoir affaire à une imitation.
Lightweight. Seems completely new and unrecorded with this error in the mint mark (SKM instead of SMK) and the pharmacy mark (II for H). And yet, we do not seem to be dealing with an imitation

Historical background
LICINIUS I
(11/11/308-09/324)
Licinius I was proclaimed august directly following the conference of Carnuntum, on November 11, 308. In 313, after the rescript of Milan, he married Constantine's half-sister, Constantia. In 316 a first war took place between Licinius and Constantine. It ends with the death of Valens and the signing of a peace between the two augusts. On April 1, 317, three Caesars were created: Crispus, Constantine II and Licinius II. A second war broke out between Constantine and Licinius in 321. It ended with the decisive defeat of Chrysopolis in 324 and the deposition of Licinius, exiled to Thessalonica before being executed the following year..
