IM C M F RV IOTAPIANVS, radiate, cuirassed bust right, 
seen from back.

Very rare: 
only 18 authentic coins of this usurper were known to Bland, "Coinage of Jotapian", Essays Carson-Jenkins (1993). 
Our piece has Bland's obverse die III and reverse die
viii, a new die combination.

RIC-2c corr. (R5), Cohen 2 (1000 Fr.)

Very clear name. If you have a coin of Jotapian and it is 
not relatively ugly, it is probably false. This coin is 
ugly enough to be genuine but still bold and clear.
