From The Dr. Ivo Lukanc Collection of the Gold Coinage of Diocletian, and from the collections of E. Page, Vinchon, Paris, 4 October 1989, 36, and a Parisian Amateur, A. Page, 19 June 1933. This coin, the only aureus from the mint of Lugdunum in this collection, was struck on the light standard and bears a bust, taken from a sketch sent from wherever the emperor was based. It is a noble head but it is not a true likeness. https://cdn.nomosag.com/auctions/95/video00012.mp4?sv=2023-01-03&ss=b&srt=co&st=2025-03-10T16%3A25%3A27Z&se=2099-03-11T16%3A25%3A00Z&sp=rl&sig=i7RzFAqwYGMJUp3u71BbRyL3HhIAtR%2F8cUnRnTVQfyU%3D&rsct=video%2Fmp4
