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

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. SMNς in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED OFFICINA - ς. 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 but note that officina letter is not quite certain. See also: NICOMEDIA 58, GALERIA VALERIA, UNLISTED OFFICINA Є
