[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 2706251, member: 10613"]It is a coin issued under the authority of that ruler. Of course many coins were issued by someone other than whose portrait appears on the coin.

Just one example, struck by Licinius I -- [ATTACH=full]610015[/ATTACH] I don't think it is so important to include such details though unless it is a coin struck by someone like Vetranio, Magnentius or Aureolus...so something that makes it irregular, struck by someone other than an officially recognized Augustus. Here is a coin struck by Vetranio in the name of Constanius II [ATTACH=full]610016[/ATTACH] a coin struck by Magnentius in the name of Constantius II [ATTACH=full]610017[/ATTACH] and a FIDES EQVIT issued under the authority of Aureolus in the name of Postumus [ATTACH=full]610019[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
