Rome Mint /Struck 138 AD

Struck during his first year of rule as emperor (138 AD). 
Both sides of this coin are extremely well centered and 
still maintain the impressive original mint luster from its 
creation. In addition, the spectacular high relief portrait 
of  Antoninus Pius makes this example particularly 
desirable. The highly detailed reverse image of Pietas 
sacrificing over an altar is yet another reason to consider 
this coin for your collection.

Obverse: Bare headed, draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing
right...IMP. T. AEL. CAES. HADR. ANTONINVS
Reverse: Pietas standing right, sacrificing over an altar...AVG.
