Eugenius, 392-394. Siliqua (Silver, 17mm, 2.04 g 6), Lugdunum. D N EVGEIN - VS P F AVG (sic!) Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Eugenius to right. Rev. VRBS ROMA / LVGPS Roma seated left on cuirass, holding Victory set on globe in her right hand and reversed spear in her left. Cohen 72. Lyon 230. RIC IX, 46. A remarkably attractive, beautifully toned example with an unusually realistic portrait of great quality. About extremely fine.


From a European collection.

This coin, which is of unusually fine style, is also notable for the presence of the exceptional engraving error in the obverse legend. It is that the engraver made three vertical strokes, for NI, but then put the N’s cross bar between the wrong two!
