Reece period 1,
ANT AVG III VIR R P C, Praetorian galley right; Reverse: Legionary eagle between two standards. The reverse surface has many scratch marks and the bottom half is damaged, therefore the reverse legend is unclear. Crawford 544ff.

A similar coin has been discovered in the same field as this one (PUBLIC-191E22).
