Photo of a coin sold the 09/06/2017by Münzen & Medaillen GmbH (DE), Auction 45, lot 1119, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4034544, link to their website: https://www.muenzenundmedaillendeutschland.de/de/de_aktuelles.html.

Description of the bust uncertain, one can think that a drapery is present but the quality of representation does not allow to be certain. I only noted the cuirass which is rather correctly represented. Local imitation like those found for Postumus, we can read LAE followed by a probable letter L which would therefore indicate Laelianus.
