A silver coin, IMP : C : POSTUMUS : P : M : AUG. ; reverse, MONETA : AUG.

Another silver coin, reverse, JUNONI.
The following are copper :—

FLAV : JUL : CONSTANS : NOB : CÆS.
FLAV : VAL : CL : CONSTANTINUS : NOB : CAES : AUG.

I cannot conclude till I have filled the sheet, & while I have room to add a word more. As you are a collector of coins, if I can be of any service in procuring for you any you want, I may have it in my power to get them at a very easy rate.'
