Hi !
I received this coin from a friend, but I'm no specialist on roman coins.
I think lettering is DN VALENTINIANUS PF AUG
Other side : REPARATIO REIPUB *MR* (* = unidentifiable letter)
weight : 4.17grams
diameter (at largest) 23mm
material : copper ?


Thank you for the correct identification, value would be appreciated too...

Kind regards,
Tony

I read SMR as mintmark, so Roma, but i'm not sure about the officina letter.
Thanks. What does the SM stand for ?
Is this coin in numista catalog, I didn't find it ?

SM = Sacra Moneta
You can find this in a lot of late roman mintmarks. For instance :
SMK = Sacra Moneta Kyzikos
SMH = Sacra Moneta Heraclea
SMALA = Sacra Moneta Alexandria
SMAQ = Sacra Moneta Aquileia
....

There is a numisdoc about it, but in french :

I don't think yours is already in the numista catalog, but feel free to add it!
Here is the complete reference about your coin, if i'm not wrong :

RIC 43B
Choucas,
the links you posted are for valentinianus iunior, so val. the second.
My coin is Valentinianus (the first).
Can you find info on it ?

I think it is Valentinian II. There is no such reverse type for Valentinian the first. It seems that RIC 43B is with "IVN" in the legend, and RIC 43 without it. So yours should be RIC 43 and not 43b. I don't have the RIC book for that emperor, could someone confirm?

See this on nummus-bible :

Thank you very much !
