There are three different antoniniani with the reverse SERAPI COMITI AVG. The rarest one is with the vertical scepter (# 305), there are two with the transverse sceptre (# 303-304), but one has a prow of ship at feet like yours (# 304). And definitely from Trier, notwithstanding the curly hair...

Do I understand correctly that my coin's correct number in the newly-published edition of the RIC Gallic Empire volume is RIC V.4 304 (2nd ed. 2023), which corresponds to Mairat 362? And that Mairat is, in fact, the author of the new RIC volume?
