Photo of a coin sold the 21/03/2007 by Numismatica Ars Classica, Auction 38, lot 170, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=363123, link to their website: https://www.arsclassicacoins.com/.

Most of Dryantilla's coins are overstruck on other antoninians or denarii from other emperors. This one is struck on a virgin blank. Just like the coin cited by RIC 5B page 588, note to n° 1, about the Hamburger catalog of October 19, 1925, lot 1496 (lot 1497 is overstruck, see AYC #1 ov Alex Sev, RIC 1). I found this sale: ''Leo Hamburger, October 19, 1925, Catalog Roman Coins vol in 4, sammlung eines bekannten ausländischen amateurs''. This coin shares the same dies as the coin of Numismatica Ars Classica, the lot 1497 from the same auction and probably also the AYC #1 ov Max I, RIC 1. There appears to be only one obverse die for the entire coinage in name of Dryantilla. Here is the photo of lot 1496:
