Antoninus Pius, 138-161. Dupondius (Bronze, 26 mm, 8.84 g), Rome, 152-153 (?). Radiate and draped bust of Antoninus Pius to left, seen from behind. Rev. Blank. A very unusual item with a beautiful green patina. Very fine.
This rare left-facing dupondius of Antoninus Pius was likely reworked into a ring insert. A curious and interesting piece.
