Aurelian. AD 270-275. Antoninianus (21mm, 3.42 g, 7h). Siscia mint, 3rd officina. 5th emission, end AD 271-Fall AD 272. Radiate and cuirassed bust right / Emperor standing right, holding scepter, receiving globe from Jupiter standing left, holding scepter; *T. RIC V 227; BN 764. EF, dark green patina.

BN notes that the obverse is from the 5th emission and the reverse is from the 4th. Stylistically, the engraving of the obverse die of the present specimen shares many characteristics of the obverse dies of the 4th emission illustrated in BN, however it is lacking drapery on the bust which all of those coins have (cf. BN 745-63)
