T2-1909 ("AE4, Rome, R4") p. 338.
J-1910 ("AE4, Rome, R4") J-1911 (Arles, R4) p. 361
V3-2105 "GGG" ("AE3, Rome, R4") page 375, plate 53, full flan AE14 in good style (much less crude) with "PL" in obverse legend (p. 172). Perhaps this larger and nicer "GGG" version should be considered a different type. Dated 425-?c. 430, page 172.
V3-2118-2122 "GG" ("AE4, Rome, R3, R5, R2, R, R"), page 377, 5 photos. Crude, as illustrated above. Also, p.380 with minor spelling variants.

LRBC Rome H-828-830, V3-842, 843, 845. (Not listed for Johannes.)

Cayon V3-44 (1 correct photo, the one on the right. The one on the left is Valentinian II)

If there is a "PL" in the obverse legend, it makes the distinction between Victory left for Valentinian III and Valentinian II. Valentinian III had the name Placidus which appears as "PL" on some (not all) coins in the obverse legend.
