Solidus (gold sou). (4.19 g) Very rare. Slight notch. Very fine specimen. All solidii of this type appear to be from the same mint, dating from the 1940s–1950s. These coins were studied in 1940 by Reinhart, who attributes this specific type to the reigns of Agila (549–554) and Athanagild (554–567), whose brother Liuva was governor of Narbonne. It may also date from the reign of Theudis.
