I thought this one would be a fairly easy attribution
There were not many types issued by Albinus in bronze
But .....
A mule perhaps ?

Obv. (D) CL SEPT AL - BIN CAES
Bare head bust of Clodius Albinus right
Rv. (ANN)O(N)A AVG COS II (P P) ?
Annona standing left holding corn ears and cornucopia
19.38 grams 28-9mm

Of the obverse I am 100% sure
The reverse is as yet 'theory'
But the only theory that seems to work !

Clodius-Albinus-Sestertius
Clodius-Albinus-Sestertius

Opinions ?

Could it be RIC IV Clodius Albinus 51 (Sestertius) http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.ca.51

D CL SEPT ALBIN CAES, Head of Clodius Albinus, bare, right
ANNONA AVG COS II S C, Annona, draped, standing left, holding corn-ears in right hand and cornucopiae in left hand; at feet, modius.

Well that certainly does fit well !
I thought it odd that the reverse would read AVG COS II so I suspected something amiss
acsearch didn't help either as it does not record a single Annona standing type for Clodius !
So I suspected it might have a Septimius reverse (hence the P P which I inferred)
I think it safe to assume it is not a very common type

Many thanks
