Magnentius, 18 January 350 - 10 August 353 A.D.
|Magnentius|, |Magnentius,| |18| |January| |350| |-| |10| |August| |353| |A.D.|, RIC lists this type as common but we have never handled another example and did not find even a single specimen online. There is a coin listed as the type on Coin Archives but it is misattributed and actually RIC 162 (star above wreath reverse upper right). We believe it is rare.
