Magnentius 19x21mm 3.9gm VICTORIA AVG LIB ROMANOR;
Victory stg. right; Libertas, holding transverse
scepter in l. hand, stg. L. They support between
them a plain shaft carrying a trophy. In ex. TR This is a copy of a very rare
type- VICTORIA AVG LIB ROMANOR. The mintmark TR
means it was copying a Trier coin, but RIC does
not even list this type in bronze from Trier,
but it does have it in gold. Perhaps an official
example is out there that this coin copied.
There are bronzes with this reverse from Rome. |
