<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8342462, member: 86498&quot;]I have one of the Divus Pius Sestertii with the pyre on the reverse. It is a variation of the one featured in the engraving as mine has the S C in the exergue and not in the field as shown in the engraving </p><p>Antoninus Pius Ae Sestertius as Divus Minted during the reign of Marcus Aurelius sometime after 161 AD Obv&nbsp; Head of Pius right Rv Funeral pyre of four levels surmounted by facing quadriga RIC 1266 26.60 grms 33 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1479472[/ATTACH]I have always liked the reverse featuring the pyre and have over the years made an effort to purchase one. I found this one at the NYINC The dealer was from the Netherlands and he had this coin traced back to a Hess-Leu Sale in 1968. Subsequent research on my part showed that the coin was in a French sale in 1965[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
