This sesterium has no reverse legend or it is erased.

Thanks

Well, I can't find an exact match, but here is something close.  Yours does appear to have no legends, but I think they are just worn off.  Anyway, your example has PI-VS while the Wildwinds example has the entire PIVS on the right downward after the portrait.  Also, on the reverse, your S-C is lower than this example. Still, it seems a pretty close match.

Antoninus Pius sestertius. ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P COS III, laureate head right / IMPERATOR II S-C, Fides standing right. RIC 716a, Cohen 426.

Best, Noah

Thank you Noah. Maybe that this type is not simply listed.
