Yes, same cuirassed bust type as the BM and Cederlind Aequitas coins, but of course from an earlier issue with different obv. legend and different rev. type.

I think there is only one such IMP VIII cuirassed obv. die, which also occurs with the rev. type P M TR P V COS II P P, Pax seated left.

Many thanks for the information and for taking the time to check Curtis. It is very mich appreciated.

Gorgeous coin Q.

This coin seems to have some surface dirt still adhering in a few crevices. This image as the coin arrived with me. I will now contemplate whether to remove the dirt.
