Hi,

You are correct. This coin does read PAX AVGGG and has Pax hoding a smal Victory on globe and a transverse sceptre. Mintmark S/P//MLXXI from London. The obverse should read IMP C CARAVSIVS PF AVG, although the latter part of the legend is not visible in the picture. It is RIC 145, Bourne 31, Carson 20.

A nice "three emperors" coin and a reverse type missing from my collection.

Regards,

Mauseus
