I don't like to post items that are currently up for auction, so as to not drive up bidding, but since this one opens at 6,000 euros, it will probably be OK.

translation from Spanish

MAXIMIAN, Hercules. Medallion. (Ae. 40.99g / 41mm). AD 297-298 Rome. Anv: VIRTVS MAXIMIANI AVG. Laureate bust with breastplate with Aegis of Maximiano on the right carrying a shield decorated by a she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, behind the head of a horse. Rev: MONETA AVGG. The three Moneta shelves facing left, all three carrying scales and cornucopies. (Cohen 405; BMC Medallions 4; Gnecchi 18). MBC +. Obverse field reviewed. Very rare.
