<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 994064, member: 19463&quot;]The coin I posted is Trier TRS*.&nbsp; While I appreciate the theory that they &quot;merely substituted his image for the previous image of Magnentius, maintaining the Chi-Rho image on the reverse of coins minted there.merely substituted his image for the previous image of Magnentius, maintaining the Chi-Rho image on the reverse of coins minted there&quot; it is important to note that the reverse legend changed to eliminate the reference to Decentius Caesar so it was not simply using up the old dies.&nbsp; Since the 353 date would allow the use considering Gallus as the Caesar, the change looks odd to me.&nbsp; This difference is handy because it enables you to ID coins completely lacking obverse legends.&nbsp; I would be astonished if the type turned up for Constantius II from any other mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
