With Marcus Aurelius - AV Aureus (Rome AD 140, 7.22 g) - ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PP TRP COS III Laureate (!) head of Antoninus Pius right / AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII F COS Bare head of young Marcus Aurelius right (cf. RIC 415a (aureus) but Antoninus has LAUREATE head instead of bare) - XF, a wonderful, well-struck coin on a broad flan. Apparently this is an unrecorded variety in RIC, this type only appears as a Denarius (RIC 417a), making this a very rare piece in a fantastic condition.
