Justin and Sophia enthroned facing, each holding a long sceptre, they hold a globe surmounted by cross between them / Large M; date across field, cross above, G/THEUP’. DOC I 155b; SB 379. VF, brown surfaces, attractive style.

A very nice example of the Antioch mint's penchant for combining well engraved types with completely corrupted legends.
