<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 3474777, member: 10613"]All the coins of Vetranio are actually laureate, but due to peculiar engraving style, some do look pearl diademed. All coins of Constantius issued by Vetranio are pearl diademed...this headwear arrangement is Vetranio showing that Constantius II is senior. You can compare the pearl diadem of an issue for Constantius-- note the forehead jewel which is lacking on the laurel types.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]924311[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are other coins from various years that have the same issue of laurel leaves looking like pearls.
