Valentinian II, Western Roman Empire (AD 375-392). AV solidus (21mm, 4.47 gm, 1h). NGC AU 5/5 - 2/5, brushed. Constantinople, 10th officina, AD 383-388. D I NVALENTINI-ANVS P F AV (NV ligate), pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Valentinian II right, seen from front / CONCORDI-A AVGGG I, Constantinopolis seated facing on throne decorated with lion heads, helmeted head right, right foot on prow, scepter in right hand, globe in left; CONOB in exergue. RIC IX 69a4. Interesting blundering of the obverse legend. The engraver should have cut it as D N VALENTINI-ANVS P F AVG, but accidentally cut the diagonal line for the N on the wrong side and created a NV ligate, while also missing the final letter in AVG.
