This issue is only listed in RIC with the Emperor standing with head to the right but this one has his head to the left. This variant is not in Ferrando either.

Victor, this coin comes from Lugdunum.
It's RIC VIII Lyons 5.

Thanks Nikko...I was going by the seller's description.

It's still a rare and intridung coin. Lyons posthumous coins are the toughest to find.
