Also, since the celator on the legends for this example was not connecting the strokes for the A and Vs in the obverse legend (a common practice), there was apparently some confusion as to how many lines were needed and an extra one was added between the V and S in the emperor's name.

AQP in exergue 16mm x 17mm, 1.41g RIC VII, 143 (R4) Ex Warren Gemmell, detectorist find in United Kingdom and registered with Portable Antiquities Scheme, February 2008 Note: RIC describes the bust type as rosette-diadem, however this specimen has a plain and laurel-diadem type. Since the diadem style varies so widely from mint to mint, I am leaving it with the RIC description as it is not plated for comparison.
