Hmmm .... maybe

I can make out AVGTRP  which makes the Obv: IMP M ANTONIVS AVG TR P XXV,
The reverse should be FIDES EXERCITVVM COS III

Therefore I think this is RIC 999

Of course this is Rugser asking, and as we all know everytime I answer his posts, I get it wrong.   :-[

Looks like obv. TR P XXVII, rev. RELIG AVG IMP VI COS III S C, Mercury standing r., head l., holding purse and caduceus, cock at feet, BMC 1462, Cohen 533.  The cock can also be omitted, BM 1462 note, which may be the case here.
