ALFOLDI 004.1 
OBVERSE: IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG
REVERSE: ADVENTVS AVG
BUST TYPE: H2
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: A//XXI
WEIGHT 3.65g / AXIS: 12h / DIAMETER: 21mm
RIC 624
ALFOLDI 004.1 (2 EX.)
COLLECTION NO. 1031
NOTE: extremely rare and desirable variety of the Adventvs Avg reverse where the emperor is marching RIGHT instead of LEFT.

This is apparently only the third known specimen in the world, the other two being in Vienna and La Venera hoard. My coin shares the same pair of dies as the Vienna specimen (information from Ph. Gysen) as well as the reverse die with the Venera specimen (information from J. Guillemain). 

A coin of the highest rarity and numismatic interest!
