Photo of a coin sold the 25/09/2002 by Classical Numismatic Group, Mail Bid Sale 61, lot 2027, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=108410, link to their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/. Quote of Classical Numismatic Group about this copy: ''R. Bland, “The Coinage of Jotapian,” -, but cf. pl. XXXV, 3(a) and 4(a) for same reverse die''.

Reverse legend partially erased, IMP or IM? I chose to note IM because the space between the bust and IOTAPIANVS leaves room for AVG.
