Thanks @Ancient Aussie, I thought so too! And I had a heck of a find finding examples and a reference for it without having any legend on the reverse. The closet photo of a similar coin was its sestertius sibling.
Thanks @Roman Collector! Are those photos of the physical book you took or are they from a digital online copy? If the latter, where would I find such volumes?
