Ops
orichalcum sestertius (24.0g, 33mm, 6h) Rome mint. Struck AD 140-144
ANTONINVS AVG PI[-]VS P P TR P COS III laureate head of Antoninus Pius facing right
OPI AVG / S C [in ex.] Ops seated left, holding sceptre, left hand drawing back drapery.
RIC 612 (Scarce); Cohen 569 (fr.8); BMC 1258-62; Foss (Roman Historical Coins) 130:67

Ops stands for plenty, properity, power, fertility...  Her cult goes back to the earliest times, supposedly founded by Romulus.  She is the wife of Saturn, sometimes equated with Cybele.  Appears on Roman coins only twice (also on issues of Pertinax).  The issue under A. Pius is most probably associated with the 900th anniversary of Rome.
