Note K described the coin as having obv. IMP AVR ANTONINVS, and draped bust seen from rear, but the coin is misdescribed as above (It seems to match the coin in her illustration). It has the rev. legend FORTVNA, which is presumably why it was placed in Issue 1, but the style seems good, and the obv. legend is not attested in Issue 1. No obv. die link has been identified yet, however.
