burnswe: 
to the CCF !
Obv.: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PP IMP 11 (I can see only "IMP 1")
Rev. TR.POT.X111.COS.1111 (I can see only "COS 11")
Tranquillity standing left, holding rudder and corn ears.
Should have "TRANQ" in exergue but in my opinion the die cutter didn't have enough room to include this lettering in the space, so it was left out.
Therefore similar, but not exactly the same as R.I.C. 202.
Style OK, but sharpness of all design details a bit 'mushy'.
I would have liked to have a close look inside the edge cracks with a 10 or 15X loupe, looking for tensile metal distress that would have been the result of striking, much like the top of a well used steel cold chisel.
