    the reverse has someone seated left...there are several possible types though. Compare the reverse with the coin below.

    My similar Hadrian sestertius.

    Your bust type looks a little different, but I can’t really tell.

    Here are your images combined, rotated, and tweaked to bring out some details that might help.

    Edit: I see COS at the right of the reverse legend.
