<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2857072, member: 87200&quot;]I just picked this up in [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] &#039;s auction number 104. I have wanted a large Julian for a long time so I am fortunate to have picked one up for a low price. On vcoins some of these are going for $1200, but appear to me to have been tooled. This is indeed a fine coin of the Apostate. I read Gore Vidal&#039;s Julian some time ago and thoroughly enjoyed the book, so it comes highly recommended. </p><p><br /></p><p>AE 30, 8.1 grams, Nicomedia mint, A.D. 361-363</p><p>Obverse: DN FL CL IVLIANVS PF AVG</p><p>Diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Reverse: SECVRITAS REIPVB</p><p>Bull standing right, two stars above//palm</p><p>Mintmark: SMNB</p><p>Reference: RIC VIII 119, page 483 (SMNA, no SMNB examples recorded</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]679496[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]679497[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your Julian&#039;s here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
