This is a variant of RIC 401 with Bust type C. The full seplling of the reverse legend is not noted by RIC but is noted by Pink.
The portrait of this coin is also an early one, which is based on Tacitus/Florian and places the coin to very early in the second emission, later coins in this emission have a more Probus like portrait.
