I noticed a reverse die link between two sestertii of Balbinus and Pupienus. The reverse die is different from the coin shown here. Here are the two coins:

Balbinus, coin sold by Bertolami Fine Arts, the 31/05/2011, Auction 3, lot 447: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1020902.

Pupienus, coin preserved at the l'American Numismatic Society, Identifiant: 1944.100.13629: http://numismatics.org/collection/1944.100.13629.
