<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3510897, member: 82549&quot;]It&#039;s still too difficult to make out the mint mark. In general, it helps to take the coin out of the holder before photographing it. Your coin has been knocked around for over 1,600 years, so you won&#039;t hurt it by handling it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you see the soldier who is getting speared and falling over his horse? There should be a line across the bottom of the coin right under the horse. The space under the line is called the exergue. That&#039;s where the mint mark would be. Can you make out any letters in the exergue? If so, that might allow us to tell you what city the coin was minted in.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I can&#039;t tell for sure, but I assume that Victor Clark is correct in identifying the coin as one of Julian II (&quot;the Apostate&quot;). That would mean that your coin was minted between 355-361 A.D. During this time, Julian II was the Caesar, or the heir to the throne. In 361, Constantius II died, and Julian became the Augustus (Emperor).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
