Antoninus Pius, Scarce Denarius, EF   
 138-161 AD, Scarce Denarius, EF, Rome, 140-4 AD, 3.34g. BM-
220, RSC-557b, RIC-76b, Strack-107. Obv: ANTONINVS AVG PI--
VS P P COS III Head laureate r. Rx: MONETA AVG Moneta 
standing l. holding scales and cornucopia. Scarce reverse 
type: only 11 specimens in Reka Devnia hoard. This coin 
occurs mainly, perhaps exclusively, without TR P in obverse 
legend. Cohen-557 and Strack-94 indeed list it with TR P, 
but may just be based on misreadings; the BM has such a coin 
according to Strack, but BM-220 pl. 5.15 in fact omits TR P.
