Hello friends collectors of old coins! I am writing an article on a particular siliqua struck by the Antioch mint for Valens during its decennalia. It is the issue in • ANA. The particularity of this issue is that the only 4 known siliquas are all of the same dies of observe and reverse. The hypothesis that I wish to verify is the belonging of these 4 coins to the same treasure discovered in its time. So can you help me to verify this and : 1 - DO YOU HAVE a silique of this issue yourself and if so, can you send me a picture? 2 - Do you have information on a treasure of siliqua from which perhaps these 4 specimens would come? Many thanks for your help.

Did you check Ac search ? There are 4 examples, maybe not the same as yours. https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...s=1&thesaurus=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company=
Man, I had to dig in a thread from way back in 2015 to find my coin and info. I need to start shifting back to Siliqua one of these days. Valens. AD 364-378. AR Siliqua (1,84g). Antioch mint. Struck CE 367-375. Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right / VOT/ X/ MVLT/ XX in four lines within wreath; ANT. RIC IX 34b.1; RSC 96†e. Good VF
Is it one of those great coins that Marc Walter was offering on Vcoins? 2015 was probably a peak year for the quality of his inventory.
[QUOTE = "Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, message: 4598027, membre: 99554"] Avez-vous vérifié la recherche Ac? Il y a 4 exemples, peut-être pas les mêmes que les vôtres. [/ CITATION] They are the same. Thanks
I wrote an article about a coin just like this that turned out to have no silver at all. I don't remember the mint however. Rasiel
