There are quite a few different sub-types of CLEMENTIA TEMP from this mint with Emperor holding something receiving something from Jupiter. Emperor holding transverse sceptre, receiving globe Emperor holding vertical sceptre, receiving globe Emperor holding vertical eagle-tipped sceptre, receiving globe and more unusually Emperor holding vertical sceptre, receiving Victory on globe Jupiter also has a couple of minor varieties where he usually has a robe draped over his left arm and less usuallty with his robe draped behind him. This coin combines combines both these unusual attributes. It isn't listed in RIC and I cannot find it in Alfoldi though the reverse type is noted as Type 19 with the only example listed by Alfoldi as having VII/XXI on the reverse. It is also a pleasing looking example without a great deal of wear and was struck with fresh dies with the engraver's marks still visible on the glose and on the torso of Jupiter Obv:– IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right (seen from the rear) Rev:– CLEMENTIA TEMP, Emperor standing right, holding vertical sceptre, receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter standing left, holding sceptre Minted in Siscia (D / XXI) Emission 8 Officina 4.
