Lucius Verus Drachm

Hi all,
I purchased this coin last week from my LCS and have included a picture of the identification on it. As you can see it is identified as Lucius Verus but I have had trouble finding it and think it may be Antoninus Pius. What do others think??

The visible legend in Greek, transliterated into Latin is RELIUS. Hope that helps.

 

IMO It doesn't look like Antoninus Pius...Looking in Emmett....It's #2405....

It's a nice coin.

 

I think that it could also be Antoninus Pius; the bear of Lucius Verus is usually more "pointy" e.g.

for comparison see the obverses at

https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/10614 or

But the obverse reads "Aurelius" in Greek. It's either Marcus or Lucius. I think it's RPC IV.4, 14626.

 

you are right

 

I would agree, thanks for the help!
