I'm pretty sure I saw this coin, or a coin very similar to it on Ebay some time ago.

Hello, I found this coin without legion also but this style same as for  all legion denarius.

Marcus Antonius
Denarius, mint moving with M. Antony 32-31, AR 3.24 g. ANT AVG – III·VIR·R·P·C Galley r., with sceptre tied with fillet on prow. Rev. LEG Aquila between two standards. Babelon Antonia –. C –. Sydenham –. Sear Imperators –. Crawford –. An apparently unique and unrecorded type. Toned and extremely fine Ex Owl Numismatics 5, 1985, 163. This coin was evidently struck from a die which had been prepared, but lacked a legion number. The field where the legion number should be is entirely normal, and shows no signs of alteration. Thus, this coin supports the theory that dies were prepared in advance, and the legion numbers were engraved as needed (RBW).
