Hi,

It's a middle bronze (I'm never totally convinced with photo colours whether things are bronze or brass) of Sabina and I think it is RIC 1024 with Vesta seated left on the reverse with just the legend SC in the exergue. Obverse legend SABINA AVGVSTI HADRIANI AVG PP.

Regards,

Mauseus

No its not RIC 411 ( AV and AR). I think you got the reverse right,although the condition of the coin doesn't make things easy ,Ceres seated on a basket  holding torch and corn ears. Personally I can see the torch and the seat looks more a basket than a throne or chair. IMO RIC 1023. Dp or AS.
What is the weight ? 18 mm is rather smallish for a dupondius or As.

Any thought that this may be provincial and not imperial?
