<p>[QUOTE="Brian Bucklan, post: 2385810, member: 76544"]Came across another ebay coin that I put away years ago because I was not 100% sure of the identification (maybe 90%). It's a siliqua of Valentinian I or II with the reverse VOT XV MVLT XX in wreath, SISCPS in exergue; six pointed star above at top of wreath. Obverse is DN VALENTINIANVS PF AVG (unbroken). </p><p><br /></p><p>It's definitely larger than a typical siliqua at 18mm and 2.8gms. From my little bit of research it appears the average siliqua of either Emperor weighs 1.7 to 2.1gms. I bought it as a Valentinian I type based on the legend but looking through RIC IX under Siscia I found no. 19c-2 which is Val II with the six pointed star above and the same unbroken obverse legend. They refer to this coin as a siliqua but it seems to me to be somewhat larger than what I am used to seeing. Hoping someone could help identify it properly.
