    About this item

    This is a rare ancient Roman silver Miliarense of emperor Valentinian II struck between 388 - 392 A.D.

    Obverse: DN VALENTINI-ANVS PF AVG "Our Lord Valentinian, Dutiful and Wise Augustus" pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right

    Reverse: VIRTVS-EXERCITVS "Courage of the Army" Emperor standing left, holding standard in the right hand and resting left on shield

    This coin was struck at the Lyons mint, bearing a LVGPS mintmark (for Lyons in France) having travelled to Somerset 
    (England) where it was discovered by a metal detectorist. 

    This coin bears the ubiquitous striking crack and appears to have seen some considerable circulation. A rare coin!
