Reverse: Two soldiers holding one standard. Inscription: GLORIA [EXERCITVS]. Mint name: Trier (Germany). Mint mark: -//(TRP). Reece period 17. Die axis: 12 o'clock. This coin is in very fine condition with very little wear but it has been struck a little off centre and the edge behind the bust has corroded away taking the legend in this section away. There is a green patina with rusty brown stains and a couple of surface pits on the reverse due to corrosion. This coin is likely to date to 337-340AD. Ref.
