Procopius, AD 365-366. Gold Solidus (3.99 g) minted at Constantinople. Diademed, cuirassed and draped bust right of Procopius. Reverse Emperor standing left, head right, holding spear and shield. RIC Vol. IX, 2(a) [as R4]; C. 5. We note some scratches and graffiti, as well as some file marks on the edge. Nevertheless, an excellent portrait of this extremely rare coin. Very Fine. Often designated a usurper, Procopius was a general of Julian the Hellene. After Julian was killed in AD 363 in a battle against the Persians, Procopius led a rebellion at Constantinople, where this coin was struck. Valens, warring against the barbarians on several fronts, had Procopius murdered in AD 366. Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. Categories: Roman Imperial Coinage
