RIC is unclear whether the unique coin with "DN VALENTINIANVS PF
AVG" legend is of the first or second Valentinian. It is listed under a
time
period of the second, but with a special legend more appropriate for
the
first. It is "R5" and without a photo. The arrangment is not certain.
[The bust left type is] "outside the mainstream of currency coinage
and marks some special issue." RIC p. xxxiv
Cayon Vn 111 (0), G-68 (0), V2-60 (0).
Hunter 78.36 (the legend on the left is missing and on the right
is very worn -- uncertain. Type 6 is issued from Aquileia so the
mintmark
alone is insufficient to tell.)
