| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two nimbus-crowned emperors seated facing on a shared double throne, their legs draped in imperial robes. The emperor on the right holds a mappa in his left hand, while both rulers jointly support a globe between them, symbolizing shared dominion over the world. Standing directly behind and between them, a winged Victory faces forward, flanked by a vertical palm branch resting on the exergue line at center. The mint mark appears in the exergue below the dividing line, identifying the Mediolanum officina responsible for this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Valentinian II was eleven years old when his half-brother Gratian elevated him to co-Augustus in 375, and the Milan mint that struck this solidus operated throughout what would prove a deeply unstable western court. The VICTORIA AVGG legend nominally proclaimed joint victory — yet during this precise emission window, the eastern Augustus Valens died at Adrianople in 378, arguably the worst military catastrophe Rome had suffered in centuries, leaving the "AVGG" formula diplomatically awkward and the victory it advertised entirely hollow.
Milan's role as a primary imperial mint had grown precisely because it sat closer to the Alpine frontiers than Rome did.
