yes. I know the RIC online reference. here there are 3 specimens, one in acsearch (recent auction) e one in my hands: total 5 ex.

 

Oooh, great coin! I like these Claudius II coins from Cyzicus too. I have 5 or 6 of different reverses. None of them are in spectacular shape but it's Claudius II, not many of his coins are.

Here's my PAX AETERNA with the more common right facing bust.

Here is my Claudius II,reverse "Virtuti Avg"

 

The above Claudius II is also with "SPQR" from Cyzikus.
