[QUOTE="Hrefn, post: 7662379, member: 115171"][ATTACH=full]1317028[/ATTACH] I recently posted this in a thread on Migration coinage so I hope it is acceptable to post it again, since it is my only coin of Julian. I have seen another barbarian copy of a solidus of Julian in a sale recently, which appeared to be in much lower relief. Alas, one cannot buy everything. A heavyweight 4.59 gram gold Solidus in high relief in the style of an aureus, modeled on a coin of Lugdunum. Cf. RIC 226 (Lyon). Reverse legend is VIRTUS EXERC CALI the last word meant to be GALL in praise of Julian’s army in Gaul. Ex: Dr. E. Poncet collection,(Bourgey, 15 March 1926, lot #71), then Triton III lot #1224 “unusual and extremely rare”; and Leu 72, 12 May 1998 lot#542. [ATTACH=full]1317029[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
