Break legends on the reverse:
n°1: IOVI CONSERVATORI
n°2: IOVI CONSE - RVATORI
The legend break is light and does not constitute a notable ''variant''. Indeed it is the passage of the scepter which sometimes causes a wider gap between the letter E and the letter R.

Roma Numismatic Limited says ''apparently unpublished''. I think that since the RIC 6 describes this coin with Felicitas holding a short scepter, Roma Numismatic Limited gave this variant as unpublished. In my opinion the description of the RIC is simply wrong. RIC 18 gives "felicitas standing left as on no.6". And the RIC 18 is a sestertius showing a long scepter. So it seems logical to think that the RIC 6 is poorly described. The description of the obverse legend given by Roma Numismatic Limited is the legend ''IMP CAES D CAEL BALBINVS AVG'' ... It is not the legend noted on the coin (error) and it may be also what prompted this auction house to note this coin as "unpublished".
