| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare, bearded head of Mark Antony facing right, rendered in bold relief typical of late Republican portraiture. A lituus (augural staff) appears in the field behind the head, serving as a symbolic attribute of his priestly office. The legend M•ANTON•IMP R•P•C arcs before the portrait, with the letters NT rendered as a conjoined monogram. A border of dots frames the entire design. |

Struck in 43 BC during the brief window when Antony and Octavian were operating in uneasy proximity before the formal creation of the Second Triumvirate, this denarius belongs to the propaganda war fought in metal. The RPC — *rei publicae constituendae* — designation placed on Antony's issues was a direct counter to the legitimacy Octavian had been building through his adoption by Caesar, and both men understood the mint as a political instrument as much as a financial one.
The specific die pairing catalogued as RRC 488/2 was almost certainly struck in a mobile military mint following Antony north after the confrontations at Mutina.
