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.
