    Been trying to attribute this coin for hours with no luck. I'm beginning to think barbarous.
    Antoninus Pius, silver mule, 3.40 g, 15.4 mm
    obverse: DIVVS ANTON
    Reverse: PONTIF....11

    Good silver, any ideas? The green glow is from my glass.

    Thanks Doug, coins like this can really throw you off track. This coin had to be made at least 48 - 50 years after Ant. Pius's rule.

    All of the coins officially issued by Marcus Aurelius in honor of Divus Antoninus Pius have CONSECRATIO or DIVO PIO reverses. Interesting mule.

    Nice barbarous piece. I have a few comparable coins that were found in Southern Russia, just above Ukraine.
