RIC III 611; Banti 241. Near EF, dark green patina, some red. Rare. Banti knew of seven examples.Ex Freeman & Sear 4 (14 January 1998), lot 341.The Freeman and Sear catalogue commented on this reverse by saying: "The goddess of the Roman mint here holds what appears to be a small bulging bag, presumably containing coins, in addition to her usual balance. Cohen noted the variety, tentatively identifying the object as a pomegranate, whilst on the very worn BM piece it is merely described as a 'round object'. The excellent preservation of this specimen would seem to offer a satisfactory solution to the problem."
