I have a doubt :

(Obverse is ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P)

is it :

COS IIII : RIC 124, Cohen 1 (20 Fr.), very rare : none in Réka-Devnia hoard.

or :

COS III : RIC -, Cohen -, RSC 1a, BMC p74 note : Very rare : know by the 2 ex. in the Réka-Devnia hoard

It seem to be COS III... what do you think about ?

Hello Fredweb,
The proportion of the text compared to base of the temple makes me to believe that this is COS III. However this is a nice and rare coin. Good catch :)

thanks, that was as I think. I beleve that COS IIII would be too large for the base of the temple too.
