<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2196764, member: 42773&quot;]Here is one new coin, one old, Concordia types of Valentinian II and Theodosius I. These were struck at the same time, AD 378-383, and share the same RIC number, IX Siscia 27, (b) and (d). The Valentinian II comes from a friend on this forum, and I found it highly curious and improbable that it should share the same mint mark as my Theodosius II Concordia: BSISC.</p><p><br /></p><p>They were also struck for Gratian, so now the hunt is on to find a BSISC Concordia of his. Why? Just to see if it can be done of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice one interesting feature: Val&#039;s obverse inscription is unbroken, while Theo&#039;s is separated at his name. Also, DN VALENTINIANVS PF AVG was a legend used by Valentinian I, but the Concordia type was not issued by the father. There is also a rare variant of this type that uses the obverse legend DN VALENTINIANVS IVN PF AVG.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]427561[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
