The reverse is within a laurel-wreath, so with this type and legend, according to RPC, it can only be RPC I 4216, year 19 = 48/7 BC. But on the RPC specimens there is nothing between the throne legs and the sceptre, while on this specimen there is something. Perhaps it is an unpublished variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I may have missed something.
