RIC.152 Sear RCV III 11587
In A.D.274 Aurelian attempted a currency reform that did bring a certain amount of stability. The antoninianus was restored to approximately its original size. The actual silver content was increased slightly, but remained very low at around 4.5% overall. These reformed antoninianii often bear a mint mark of XXI that is thought to represent the ratio of 20 parts copper to 1 of silver. However, coins produced at Ticinum, as shown here, have the letter T instead of the I in the value mark.

Sear RCV I 1614 BMCRE 666 BMCRR East 257 RSC 182
There is a certain amount of difference of opinion over the reverse of this coin, not only from the reading of the legend, but also the date and place of minting. Sear gives the reverse legend as IOV OLV and BMCs Roman Empire and Republic as IOVI OLV or IOVI OLVM.. However, both references give the date as 20/21B.C. to commemorate Augustus' visit to Athens, but Sear says that another reference prefers to assign it to the Pergamene Mint six years earlier. This coin here certainly seems to give a clear reverse legend as IOVI OLVI.
