Commentary
Poids léger. Exemplaire qui ne porte pas d’étoile dans le champ au revers. Cette variante ne semble pas signalée dans les ouvrages de référence ! Cette monnaie est photographiée, planche 28, TM XXV, d’une patine verte, fruit de la restauration par le Cabinet des Médailles de la BnF, ce qui diffère des autres monnaies du même type.
Lightweight. This coin does not bear a star in the field on the reverse. This variant does not appear to be mentioned in reference works! This coin is photographed, plate 28, TM XXV, with a green patina, the result of restoration by the Cabinet des Médailles of the BnF, which differs from other coins of the same type.

Historical background
MAXIMINUS II
(1/05/305-04/313)
Augustus
Maximin II, nephew of Galerius, became Caesar on May 1, 305. After the death of Constantius I Chlorus on July 25, 306, he did not become august and remained subordinate to Galerius. At the end of the conference of Carnuntum in November 308, it is only Filius Augustorum while Licinius I becomes august directly. It was not until the following year that Maximin II took the title of august. After Galerius' death in May 311, he was the oldest of the surviving tetrarchs. He falls out with Licinius and Constantine I, while he tries to get closer to Maxentius. After 312, Licinius turns against him and he is finally eliminated in 313.
