Æ In the name of Magnentius

Magnentius, the general of barbarian origin who usurped the western throne in 350 and was dead by 353, became an unlikely model for Germanic imitative coinage that continued circulating for decades after his actual issues were long demonetized. These pieces were never official tender and were almost certainly produced beyond the Rhine frontier, where Roman monetary infrastructure did not reach but Roman coin types remained recognizable and practically useful for exchange.

The Weiller-Dal reference places this squarely within the Moselle-Rhine imitative tradition documented in Luxembourg and the Rhineland hoards.
