Gratian. AD 367-383. Æ (22mm, 4.26 g, 12h). Treveri (Trier) mint. Struck August AD 367 - February AD 369. D N GRATIANVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right / GLORI A ROMA N ORVM, city gate with two turrets, no door, S above; SMTR. RIC IX 29d; LRBC 91. Dark brown patina, minor porosity and deposits. EF. Very rare.
The authors of RIC note (p. 4) that “the mint-mark SMTR can be dated to the period between the elevation of Gratian and the completion of the senior emperor’s quinquennium in Feb. A.D. 369. Most of the coinage is commemorative of these important events...” This very rare type was struck for Valentinian I, Valens, and Gratian only at Trier, and an extremely rare issue at Constantinopolis for Valens, where he resided at the time.
