Born in 315 AD, Valerius Licinianus Licinius briefly ruled alongside his father, Licinius, in the early 4th century. He became Caesar in 317, co-ruling the Eastern Roman Empire. However, his reign was short-lived, as political turmoil and conflicts with the rival emperor Constantine the Great led to Licinius II's untimely demise. In 324 AD, he was possibly executed as part of the power struggles of the time. Licinius II remains a relatively obscure figure in Roman history, his significance overshadowed by the turbulent events of the era. We are offering Nummus from his short reign in Fine grade and all with Jupiter, king of the Gods, on the reverse.
Samuel Fereday was an important Black Country industrialist. Sir Edward Thomason, in his Memoirs, reckoned him to be the greatest ironmaster in the world. In addition to his industrial and mining activities, he was a partner in the Bilston Bank, which failed in the slump of 1816. At the height of his prosperity he and his various companies employed around 5,000 workers, the largest number at that time ever to have been employed by one concern. Fereday issued a range of copper penny tokens in 1811-1812 for the town of Bilston in Staff ordshire with his name and we have a small number available in Very Fine Condition.
