TYPE Roman Empire, Julian II the Apostate (335-363 AD), bronze AE4, struck as Caesar, 335-360 AD DESCRIPTION . Obv: Bareheaded draped bust of beardless Julian to right, Latin legend D N IVLIANVS NOB C Rev: Julian standing with globe and spear, legend: SPES REIPVBLICE, mintmark ALE in exergue REFERENCE: CHK -, cf. SR 4064 GRADING: AVF, olive green patina w/ some highlights, chipped edge, scarce ORDER INFO: R1597, $30 Appears to be a mystery (though in part so due to missing legends): the reverse has the emperor (or Virtus?), facing w/ head left, holding spear and globe, and legend ends with PVBLICE, but the left part of it does not seem to beging with SPES at all... ( REI could be there); the obv. legend ends with ANVS N C (apparently), and begins with DN IV (or DN CL IVL), with a bareheaded young head r.; nothing in CHK appears to match this.
