Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Your Coyn of Valentinian with DN VALENTINIANVS PF AVG is valuable on account of the metal. I do not doubt it is already noted by Medallists; tho’ I am not furnished with Books to point out ye Places. ANT must signify, I suppose, the name of ye place where struck, viz. Antioch, and A must be ye Mark for ye Monetarius, tho’ had it been on ether side of the Emperor, it would have stood for the Year of his Reign, namely, the first year, & would therefore have been ye same with ye Greek α.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 7 p. 35; Burnett 2020b, p. 1237)
