<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2164073, member: 42773&quot;]I just won this FH of Julian - I came across it on eBay this afternoon. It&#039;s not really worth another thread, so I&#039;m going to ride John&#039;s coattails. It would seem that the FH&#039;s of Julian are all pretty scrappy, so you take what you can get. I put in a very half-assed bid on this one and managed to win it for $19. The offerings on vcoins at the moment aren&#039;t much nicer than this coin, and quite a bit more expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, taking what I can get from these coins, it has a very nice portrait of Julian as Caesar, just after Constantius II sent him off to Gaul. This is the second series, with M behind bust, and it&#039;s got a nice, clear mint mark, AQTpalm. RIC records examples from first and second officinas for Constantius II, only third for Julian, so it looks like there was a division of labor there. RIC VIII Aquileia 223 (p. 336).</p><p><br /></p><p>This is actually very nice for the type. If you don&#039;t believe me, check Wildwinds and vcoins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]416983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
