Helllo Damion, your coin is RIC VII Rome 19 and is rated as C3 in RIC, soit is actually pretty common. Below is another one from workshop S.

Thanks Victor, surprised its C3 as I couldn't find one, even on your list it wasn't there nor wildwinds.

I have already checked that list you linked to Victor, as there is only the R*S variety listed I was of the thinking that if you didn't have 1 listed then it must be less common.
I am still struggling to find an example though, which is slightly frustrating.
Its reference is therefore - RIC VII Rome 19, Q.
Thanks again.
Damion

Just found an example -

I think he made an error in the listing/ ID and gave it away.

I didn't understand that you were looking for an example from only workshop Q. This issue was minted in four workshops-- P, S, T and Q . These are all the same RIC number though and, in this circumstance, each workshop is listed as being equally common in RIC-- c3. This rating is the most common in the RIC system, meaning more than 41 examples (of each workshop) were noted in the sources that Bruun cited.
