Antoninus Pius Fortuna Denarius
Antoninus Pius denarius, this issue (third)139 - 140 AD, Rome, RSC 859, RIC 49,  
OBV: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PP, laureate head right 
REV: TR POT COS II, Fortuna standing facing left, holding rudder cornucopiae. 

Per Curtis Clay, Forvm Ancient Coins:
Date exactly 139, as specified by the emperor's title COS II.
Antoninus became COS II on 1 Jan. 139, COS III on 1 Jan. 140.
Probably spring 139 until the end of the year, since at the beginning of 139 Antoninus was still using a longer legend form and was not yet P P.
