Valens AV Solidus. Constantinople, AD 364. D N VALENS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust to right / RESTITVTOR REIPVBLICAE, emperor standing facing, head to right, holding labarum with christogram and Victory on globe; CONSP* in exergue. RIC IX 3c var. (obverse legend arrangement); Depeyrot 11/3 var. (same). 4.39g, 21mm, 12h.

Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare.

From a private UK collection.

Depeyrot notes an example with this legend arrangement but as an imitative copy. The style and fabric of this coin however convinces this cataloguer that it is a regular issue.
