Solidus - Valentinianus II CONCORDIA AVGGG, Constantinopolis

Valentinian II was around twelve years old when this solidus was struck in his name at Constantinople. Real authority during these years rested with his half-brother Gratian until Gratian's murder in 383, and then increasingly with Theodosius I, who used the young emperor as a western figurehead while consolidating his own position. The CONCORDIA AVGGG reverse type — invoking harmony among three Augusti — was a deliberate political statement during a period when that harmony was being actively contested by the usurper Magnus Maximus, who had just seized Gaul and Britain.

RIC IX 69 places this issue firmly within the Theodosian reorganization of the Constantinople mint.
