CoolCoinz New Member Ireland 4 Posts	Posted 01/07/2014 11:18 am I think I found the second one Valens (Eastern Emperor) Obverse: D N VALEN-S P F AVG - Diademed bust right, draped and cuirassed. Reverse: SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE - Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm. RIC 10b Mint: Possibly Heraclea SMHA Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/07/2014 11:24 am Pretty close - the reverse is SECVRITAS REPIVBLICAE, but the emperor isn't Valens, its Valentinian. You can tell because of how long the legend is. The mint is SMNB or SMHB - by design, id guess nicomedia, but I couldnt be sure from the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
