Reverse description Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and prosperity, is depicted seated left on a throne or chair, holding a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left — her standard attributes symbolizing guidance and abundance. The reverse legend FORT REDVCI COS II is distributed around the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) positioned prominently in the lower field, as was customary on Roman aes coinage. The overall type celebrates Fortune's return, commemorating Albinus's second consulship. Significant wear and patination are present across the flan, though the seated figure of Fortuna remains discernible.
