Antoninus Pius, August 138 - 7 March 161 A.D.
|Antoninus| |Pius|, |Antoninus| |Pius,| |August| |138| |-| |7| |March| |161| |A.D.|, This coin is in an unusual slab with a clear plastic dome over the reverse. The dome looks attractive but the coin is impossible to photograph. The coin is normally and evenly dark, much nicer than the photo with its strange banded light and dark reflections off the dome.

This type commemorates Antoninus Pius acclamation as imperator for the second time, recognizing the victory of Q. Lollius Urbicus over the Brigantes in Britain, and the construction of the Antonine Wall.
