Pescennius Niger, April to 1 June 193 - March, April or May 194 A.D.
|Pescennius| |Niger|, |Pescennius| |Niger,| |April| |to| |1| |June| |193| |-| |March,| |April| |or| |May| |194| |A.D.|, A superb Pescennius Niger. Excellent centering on a large round flan, with mint luster in the field surrounding the portrait.

The reverse die is very rare and we could not find any other specimen. The three RIC 47a-d, IVSTITIA AVGVSTI specimens we found all have the cornucopia away from the body of the goddess, which is the normal way as seen on most coins. However our coin shows the cornucopia rotated and held close to the body. This type was also used for a RIC 45, the more common issue with short IVSTITIA AVG legend.
