I have the honour to exhibit to your Lordship, and the Society, a gold Quinarius of the Emperor Vitalian, which reacls oh the obverse, DN VITALINVS P.P.A.V. on the reverse, VICTORIA. AVGVSTOR. and in the exergue, CONO. The obverse has the head of the Emperor, crowned with a diadem of pearls; the reverse represents a figure of Victory. The Numismatic Authors that mention it, are Beauvais, Tom. III. p. 28, as the only coin of this Emperor that had occurred when he wrote; D'Ennerie Cat. p. 277, 4to. and Tanini in Supplern. p. 383. Descriptions of a coin of Vitalian have been since given both by Eckhel and Rasche.
