Any thoughts on the revers I am sure it is Pius on the obvers. It was only a 5 dollar coin so no big loss I got it because it was with a Marcus Aurelius I wanted I got 5 coins for 25 dollars. But I could use any help I can get.

The reverse shows Artemis with bow advancing right. It is a common type, but style and size point towards Anchialos: http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4505/
