Coin referenced RIC X, page 346, n°1417 and illustrated plate 43, source: Bibliothèque Nationale de France. This coin has been clipped, as has the copy found at Antequera in Andalousia in a collection. Read Fernando Lopez Sanchez concerning those coins with reduce diameter: '' PRISCUS ATTALUS’ SECOND COIN ISSUES IN NARBONNE (414 -415) AND THE CIRCULATION OF CLIPPED SILIQUAE IN SPAIN AND GAUL (420 -422)'', published in the revue belge de numismatique et de sigillographie, CLXVI, 2015. link to the article: https://www.academia.edu/17870497/Priscus_Attalus_second_coin_issues_in_Narbonne_414_5_and_the_circulation_of_clipped_siliquae_in_Spain_and_Gaul_420_422_.

What about the mint mark of the coin shown in the RIC X? It is out off blank and the RIC X 1417 gives a mark PSRV while the mint is Narbonne .. Visigothic coins with this mark have been listed. So I think that this copy has the PSNB mark like the copy acquired in Andalusia where the mark is clearly visible.
