This piece was minted during the short reign of Tacitus, who
     ruled from 275-276 AD. 
Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Tacitus
     facing right, with legends IMP.C.M.CL.TACITVS.AVG. The reverse
     features Mars standing right, presenting globe to Tacitus, who
     stands left, with legends CONSERVATOR.MILITVM., and the letter P
     in the exergue. Coin grades a very choice EF, with sharp devices
     and legends all around, and nearly full silvering present. A very
     choice example of the scarcer coinage of Tacitus!
