Comment
Siliquae with the mintmark PSRV were most likely struck by the Visigoths in Gaul.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the Visigothic Kingdom. The coin was issued in the name of Honorius, who was the Western Roman Emperor at the time, but the Visigoths were gradually gaining control over the region and eventually established their own kingdom. This coin is a tangible representation of the transition from Roman rule to Visigothic rule in the region.
