Note
The coin is extensively tooled, possibly from a genuine but otherwise unrecorded coin of year 17. The bust type is right for that year and the reverse is known then, although only for Pius. The reverse die is quite close to https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/coin/111681 and might be tooled from a coin from the same die.
