<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 3181222, member: 87404&quot;]Hi Cobbler!</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the size of the coin, type of metal, and the fact that MA doesn&#039;t have a radiate crown, this denomination would be an As. More specifically, your obverse legend is AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII FIL, that last bit standing for Pius Filius meaning &quot;son of Pius&quot; (adopted son). And your reverse legend should be more than what you have listed but has worn off, TR POT VIII COS II, S-C across field, showing Salus standing left, feeding snake in arms and leaning on column, making your coin RIC 1319 struck as Caesar under Antoninus Pius 153-154 AD.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.ant.1319_as?lang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.ant.1319_as?lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.ant.1319_as?lang=en</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A similar example (not my coin, and yours seems to have no draping*):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]819806[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3982385" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3982385" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3982385</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: *There are other As that were struck during that time that did not have draping, so maybe they reused the obverse die on yours?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
