RIC VI, NICOMEDIA 58, GALERIA VALERIA, UNLISTED OFFICINA Є

OBVERSE	GALVAL-ERIAAVG [GAL VALERIA AVG]; head r., diad., on facing bust, with necklace.
REVERSE	VENERIVI-CTRICICMH [VENERI VICTRICI CMH (ligature)]; Venus stg. facing, head l., r. holding up apple, l. raising drapery over l. shoulder. SMNЄ in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - Є. RIC lists only four officinae: A-Δ (p. 562). Additionally, the footnote 3 on p. 562 reads as follows: "This issue appears to be restricted to the present Group only: the next Group shows expansion to six officinae, but Valeria's coins do not seem to run beyond officina Δ". RIC is apparently in error. See also: NICOMEDIA 58, GALERIA VALERIA, UNLISTED OFFICINA ς
