<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2104650, member: 42773&quot;]Well I&#039;m home, so I pulled out RIC IX and scanned the page on which your coin is listed. This takes a bit of explanation...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]396454[/ATTACH]</p><p>Your coin would be properly referenced as RIC IX Antioch 59b, mint-mark 2. In the Obverse column, 1a refers to the legend DN VALENTINIANVS PF AVG. J2 means Junior bust with rosettes on the diadem. (Valentinian II was a teenager when this coin was minted, so he gets a boyish portrait.) In the Rarity column, the coins with this mint-mark are considered scarce. Your mint-mark is #2, and one example examined by the authors of RIC belongs (or belonged) to a certain Gotha collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t found any reference as to the particular meaning of the T, but I&#039;ll keep digging. I hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
