Well.......it's not really MY scan.....I have this coin in a rougher
condition and was lucky enough to find another one in better condition being
auctioned on Ebay. The seller could not attribute it (by reference #) for me
so I decided to let the groups have a crack at it.
The actual scan of MY Antoninus Pius is below and, as always, you are
welcome to use it if you think it might be of value to Wildwinds....

The better scan is from the auction below:

P.S. I just got these comments on the coins above:

"Joe,

Your coin is not from Pautalia but rather from Philippopolis in Thrace.
References are: SNG Copenhagen 769 var. (HADRIA instead of HADRI); Mionnet
suppl. II, p. 450, 1461 var. (same); BMC Thrace -; Lindgren III 73.

Best Regards,
John

AND

"Joe, The AE 17 which you posted can be found in BMC Greek (Thrace)on page
162, number 8.  It is from Philippopolis. Note that reverse legend spells
out the city name, starting with the letter phi. The goddess is Concordia
standing l. over lighted altar, holding patera and cornucopia.  Garth
Drewry"
