[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 6326519, member: 105282"]Hi all! I bought this in one of the big lots I bought recently, and it appears to be an antoninianus of Tetricus I, with SPES AVGG reverse, and IMP C TETRICVS AVG on the obverse. RIC does list an antoninianus of Tetricus I with SPES AVGG on the reverse (rated common by RIC, although I can't seem to find any examples online), but with either IMP TETRICVS P F AVG (definitely not this) or IMP C TETRICVS P F AVG (not this, as there isn't space for the P F on the obverse). This reverse is readily available with Tetricus II, but not Tetricus I, so this might be a mule. The first picture is of just the coin, while the second picture is the coin, but with letters added (green is what I can definitely see, orange is what I can sort of see, while red is an educated guess). This coin is also much nicer in hand, so I can probably see more detail than the pictures suggest. The coin weighs 2.09g, and is 19mm in diameter. Can anyone help? Thanks!
