Found Essex, UK. Accompanied by a collector ticket.

This reverse type is not listed for Antoninus Pius in BMCRE, RIC, Gnecchi, OCRE, British Museum, Berlin, Vienna, etcetera and not listed for any emperor or empress from Augustus to Honorius and can therefore not be a mule; it also cannot be a colonial coin with Latin legends, because the reverse legends of such coins include the word COL, or its abbreviation; it is most likely a local counterfeit.

Reduced weight issue, Trier mint. Obv: IMP LICINIVS P F AVG legend with laureate and cuirassed bust right. Rev: GENIO POP ROM legend with Genius standing left holding patera and cornucopia; T - F across fields, mintmark PTR in exergue. 3.76 grams.
