    This Antoninus is better known as Caracalla.

    although that area of the reverse could be worn where the snake is supposed to be, I do see your point. If it was all worn you would see an impression of a long figure above the basket. I see none. Yeah that doesn't make sense

    If there's no snake, it's likely to be Annona holding corn ears over a modius - RIC 195.

    There are some examples here, on the very useful OCRE site (the description on the page refers to Annona "standing", this is a typo', the book says sitting, as she is on the examples):
