paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 10:46 pm Could use some help with identifying this low grade AR denarius! Appears to be Antoninus Pius obverse? To the left of the bust one can read ANTO and then an N to the right of the bust. Bust is facing right, looks laureate & bearded. Reverse is a bit tougher. Cannot read much, if any, of the legend, but there is a figure standing left with a cornucopia in the left hand and ? in the right; Felicitas, perhaps, Fortuna, or Pax? Help appreciated!

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 11:45 pm That gives me a new direction to search! The legend on the obv. seemed too short for A. Pius or the Hadrian strikes. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Unfortunately, Wildwinds doesn't appear to list any denarii with COMM ANTON on the obverse and a cornucopia on the reverse. It could well be a known type that isn't listed on Wildwinds, however.
