Commentary
Poids léger. Hybride ou imitation associant un droit pour Antonin le Pieux daté de 143/144 à 155-159 avec un revers inconnu soit pour Marc Aurèle ou Lucius Vérus en 166 et 167 ou bien encore Commode en 181, les seuls qui peuvent se voir associés une quatrième accalamation impériale, liée à un quatrième consulat. Mais ce revers ne semble pas exister en tant que tel. Faux d’époque ou imitation comme le laisserait plutôt supposer le buste de l’empereur !.
Lightweight. Hybrid or imitation combining a right for Antoninus Pius dated 143/144 to 155-159 with an unknown reverse either for Marcus Aurelius or Lucius Verus in 166 and 167 or Commodus in 181, the only ones who can be associated with a fourth imperial accalamation, linked to a fourth consulate. But this reverse does not seem to exist as such. Period fake or imitation as the bust of the emperor would rather suggest!

Historical background
ANTONINUS PIUS
(02/25/138-03/7/161)
Augustus
Antonin was born on September 19, 86 in Lanuvium. His family is from Gaul (Nîmes). He was a wealthy senator who married Faustina the Elder between 110 and 115 and thus entered Hadrian's family by marriage. After the death of Aelius on January 1, 138, Hadrian chose Antonin to succeed him on February 25, 138, adding two adopted sons, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. Hadrian dies on July 10 and Antonin succeeds him. He must first fight to deify Hadrian, enemy of the Senate. In 139, Marc Aurèle becomes Caesar and Faustina Augusta. His reign is calm and happy and symbolizes the "Pax Romana" of the second century. In 148, he commemorated with pomp the 900th anniversary of Rome.
