Extremely Rare
Note from Richard Beale (Roma Numismatics):
RIC only lists coins with DIANAE VICTRI, though it does mention a coin with "DIANE (sic) VICTRI" in Berlin. I suspect that the Berlin coin is actually the same type/dies as [this one] but without the reverse's final two letters showing.
Three known including this one: One in the Eauze Hoard, one in an Italian collection (FORVM member 'aemilianus') and this one.Mark Z

An interesting reverse depicting a mythological scene: Leto and her children Artemis and Apollo. The two were fathered by Zeus, arousing Hera's jealousy. Leto was banned from giving birth on earth or sea, but found the island of Delos, which supposedly was not connected to either.

"I know two others of this type, both from same dies: Vienna ex Trau lot [multi-coin lot 2453 in the 1935 Trau Sale in Vienna
(Vienna 70169)] and my collection, neither as well preserved as [this coin]! Note absence of star in field, an exception on coins of 220: clearly one of the earliest issues of the year. This is confirmed by the fact that the same type was used on denarii in the final issue of the PRECEEDING year, with TR P II."

Rev. legend is PAXS (not just PAX) AVGVSTI S C, and she applies a torch to a pile of captured arms; obv. legend is without P M. Cat. no. 409 in Kraay's die study, RIC 496 in the new RIC (publ. 1984), BMC 261a, Cohen 159. Probably an As not a dupondius; only the metal color, and to some extent the weight, tell them apart. Belongs to Kraay's interesting Officina G (many spectacular types on the sestertii), which Mattingly in BMC wrongly regarded as posthumous.
