Annona standing right, with bag of corn ears; to right, small figure standing left, and in the background, stern of ship To my eye, the portrait style appears a little off, but I note that researching [I]Domitian Dupondius[/I] on ACSEARCH also comes up a number of slightly funky-looking obverse portraits as well. Was this purchased from a VCoins dealer? Added: I note that the one similar coin on ACSEARCH, from CNG, weighed 11.84 g., so I don't think the weight is too far off for a dupondius.
