[QUOTE="Jorge Santos, post: 24797495, member: 84059"]This gold Semissis of Valentinian I is not in RIC and it’s genuine in my opinion. It was struck, no doubt, and if it were fake it would have been struck with modern dies, which doesn't seem plausible to me considering everything is correct (style, weight, dimensions…). The David Sear catalog references this coin (#19306) but with the reverse legend "...REI PVBLIC" and refers that “Depeyrot considers this type to be an ancient imitation”. I don't think it's an ancient forgery because the style is very good. Weight: 2.15 g Diameter: 16,7 mm Die Axis: 12h [ATTACH=full]1586588[/ATTACH] Any opinions ?[/QUOTE]
