    Drusus Pecunia non olet

    what you have is:

    Valentinian II AE2. D N VALENTINIANVS P F AVG, Pearl-diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right / REPARATIO REIPVB. Emperor standing facing, raising kneeling turreted woman & holding Victory on globe A (1st emission) Thessalonica mint: AD 378-383. Exe: SMTES

    Thessalonica RIC 37b

    Valentinian II "Healing Rome" "Healing the state by friendship and power of righteousness."

    Drusus, where should I be seeing the mintmark on this?
     
  7. Drusus

    Drusus Pecunia non olet

    it would be below the figures on the reverse...not shown on this example...It would either be Rome , Siscia, or Thessalonica...I think its Thessalonica 1st emmission (A). I could be wrong...but it IS a REPARATIO REIPVB of Valentinian II

    Hello,

    It's worth the price you give to a souvenir from your grandma. I would say it's priceless
