Notes:  Silvered. In accordance with RIC, the XXI in the exergue of the reverse and the Δ in the field of the reverse are mintmarks (officina) indicating Siscia. Does not match any RIC type exactly: variant legends (C missing on obverse - RIC V 759; SAECVLI not PERPETVA on reverse - RIC V 762), Securitas is standing (not seated as RIC V 762) but does hold a sceptre (present in RIC V 762 but missing in RIC V 759), and emperor is both draped and cuirassed (does not match either RIC V 759 or 762).
