Been wanting to get a Gratian for a while. it just seems like most of them are very worn down and not in good condition. So I figured this one was in fair condition so I bought it. Post up your Gratian coins here everyone.

Here's my only Gratian. For $0.73, I guess I can't complain too much. I did just purchase a new Gratian for $6.95, and it should be coming in a few days.

I've got a couple...here's one, same type as @Roman Collector. Relatively large and heavy for the period. Gratianus AE 2, 379-383, 23mm 6.2 grams Obverse: D N GRATIANVS P F AVG - Diademed bust right, draped and cuirassed Reverse: REPARATIO REIPVB - Gratian standing front, head left, raising kneeling, turreted female holding Victory on a globe. Reference: RIC IX 26a Mint: Siscia
This Gratian of Arles has the officina number (I) in the right field. What is unusual is they felt the need to explain that numeral with OF in left field.
One of mine from Siscia mint: D N GRATIANVS P F AVG draped bust with cuirass and diadem GLORIA RO_MANORVM the Emperor striding to the right with Labarum, with his right hand pulling a prisoner behind his head In field left: S*, A over R in right field below: ΔSISCE RIC IX, IX; p.147, # 14 C
@Alegandron and @dougsmit 's coins are examples of the singular type minted for Gratian at Arles only, with the unique obverse legend of DN GRATIANVS AVG G AVG - perhaps for Gratian Augustus Gener Augusti / and reverse GLORIA NOVI SAECVLI, minted on the occasion of (and perhaps after) Gratian's marriage to Constantia Postuma in 374. The unique obverse also goes at Lyons with the more mundane GLORIA ROMANORVM. At Lyon Gratian is already a senior Augustus so perhaps after 375: And an unrelated Gratian siliqua, also from 375 and after:
