Not necessarily scarce but coins of Galerius as Augustus are harder to get hold of than those as Caesar. I saw this one and added it to my small set of London coins from the Rauceby hoard (now totalling 3 coins).

Galerius as Augustus

Obv:– IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG, Laureate, cuirassed bust right
Rev:– GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI, Genius standing left, modius on head, naked but for chlamys over left shoulder, left hand holding cornucopiae and right hand holding patera
Minted in London (_). Group II - i. May A.D. 305 - Late A.D. 306 or into Early A.D. 307
Reference(s) – Cohen ?. RIC VI London 42. LMCC (page 126) 4.03.004 Rated S but many examples cited

One of 11 examples from the Rauceby hoard
