This emperor was difficult to determine since the outer rim is either worn out or cut off in a later stage despite the still reasonable quality. But DN ..ONO is still reasonably and at times readable. Reverse legend is either VICTORIA AVG or VRBS ROMA FELIX. Stephen Minnoch was so kind to supply most of the data.

Obv. : Worn. Practically no legend - Rev. : Worn. No legend.
