<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2181314, member: 42773&quot;]Common coins can often be more interesting than they appear at first sight. Case in point: your coin has a botched obverse legend, which probably contributed to your attribution difficulties. On these types, Valentinian II&#039;s obverse inscriptions read either DN VALENTINIANVS IVN PF AVG, or without &quot;junior&quot; DN VALENTINIANVS PF AVG. (With the second legend, father and son are differentiated by broken and continuous inscriptions.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin reads DN VALENTINIVS, or something like that, er...oops, oh well, V...no wait, what am I doing? Oh hell, let&#039;s just scratch out PF AVG and be done with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
