Notes:     Around 303 a number of mints struck radiate fractions with VOT XX inscriptions to commemorate the vicenallia (20-yr anniversary) of Diocletian and Maximianus. None are catalogued in RIC for London, but Sutherland includes the following note : "Voetter-Gerin ascribes to London, as Maximian Herculius no. 6, a small radiate issue of the 3 gm group with rev. VOT XX in wreath, no mint mark. The attribution seems without foundation." The existence of this coin validates Voetter's attribution, at Sutherland's expense.
