<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 26127892, member: 10613&quot;]Galeria Valeria was the daughter of Diocletian and wife of Galerius. She was also the only female represented on coins during the Tetrarchy. Coins for her were struck only in the Eastern mints and Venus is the only reverse type. VENERI VICTRICI translates as &quot;To Venus the Victorious&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently got two nice examples. The first one has an unusual legend break on the obverse. There is a gap between V and G of AVG.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1667275[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Galeria Valeria</p><p>A.D. 308-310</p><p>Ӕ follis&nbsp;&nbsp; 25mm&nbsp; &nbsp; 5.4g</p><p>GAL VALERIA AV-G; Diademed and mantled bust right on crescent.</p><p>VENERI VICTRICI; Venus holding up apple and raising drapery over left shoulder, crescent in left field, Γ in right.</p><p>In ex.
