Clodius Albinus as Augustus, Lugdunum mint, 196-197 AD.
Details (http://www.fredericweber.com/albinus_avg_as_victoria.htm)
My article in French : Un as inédit de Clodius Albinus en tant qu'Auguste (http://www.fredericweber.com/articles/un_as_inedit_d_albinus_augustus.htm)
Second know example, the only one with readable reverse legend. Only 4 as of Albinus as Augustus known, two of them are in the British Museum (BMC 622). Both of The BM ones with same obverse die, but different reverse type. The second exemple of this coin know have the same reverse but the legend wasn't known (Lanz München 14, #265). It is so crude that it's impossible to say if it's the same reverse die as mine. No other brass coins of Albinus as Augustus are known.
Note the lack of "S-C".
