Type 17: AE3. CONCORDIA AVGGG
Constantinopolis seated facing, head right, holding sceptre, her rightfoot on prow and her left knee forward.
378-383
Types 15 and 16 are very similar to this type. If there is a globe left, it is Type 15. If there is a globe right, it is Type 16. This type has no globe.
Type 17 is a scarce type of Theodosius. It was also rarely struck for Gratian.
Theodosius
18 mm. 2.53 grams.

Web page change. The first version of this website had this type listed as AE4, only from Trier, and extremely rare, R4. I think there was a mistake somewhere, perhaps in RIC, because these coins have this reverse design as an AE3. So, in this version of the site, I am changing the "Type 17" description to AE3 and noting examples I have seen are 18 mm, not 14 mm and full flan as RIC Trier 72, photo III.16. Their example looks official, not imitation, but a type which is "R4" from a single mint can not be a main issue. Cayon --. Hunter --
