Nice find! Can you take another picture of the bust side but face on, not angled and a little sharper? If not, what do the 2-3 letters look like top left of head? looks like "CAS" from what I can see? And the right side top of head first letter looks like "T"? Looks like an early-ish sestertius to me, 100-200AD or there abouts. Cheers, J

It's a Marcus Aurelius As ( 1/16th of a denarius) reverse is TR POT {something like XVIII) IMP II COS III with Mars advancing right

Last night before I posted, I was looking at this coin and I had a look at both Marcus and Antoninus coins and agree the bust is very similar. I also saw last night the reverse you mentioned Probono and would agree with you 100% that the legend would more or less read what you say with Mars. But if you take a look at my picture I cannot for the life of me find a coin with the obverse side that would have the legend as I am reading it for either both mentioned rulers. The top right side first letter looks clearly like a "T" to me so either I am blind or there are few coins out there with a letter "T" being in that position for those rulers? Hopefully a clearer picture will be posted of this coin.
