Africa, wearing elephant-skin headdress, standing right, holding corn-ears in fold of robe; at her feet, lion.

Apparently no. 952 in my die catalogue, o127/r203.

I found one other spec. from the same dies, in Baldwin stock, London, plus two other coins, in Vienna and Rome (ex Gnecchi), that are  from the same obv. die, but from two other rev. dies, both also of the AFRICA type.  

Your coin shows a clear IMP III on this obv. die for the first time, not IMP IIII, which also occurs with the same rev. type; I had only been able to say "probably IMP III".
