This is an opportunity to own a very nice and rare piece of history minted between 379 and 386 AD. This coin features a portrait of Aelia Flacilla, wife of Theodosius I, with legend on theobverse and the reverse features Victory with a Chi Ro on a shield with legend. This is a rare coin in an even rarer condition. The portrait is amazing with even the smallest pearls showing bold. Both legends are complete and bold. The centering is nice. There are few known examples of this coin with the Heraclea mintmark SMHA. This coin is guaranteed authentic. Grading is subjective. In my opinion, this coin is XF and possibly CH XF.
The Chi Ro is a Christian symbol that was first used by Constantine the Great on a shield in battle after having a dream/vision. This symbol found its way onto a number of coins from the 4th century on.
