Antoninus Pius coins

I think that what you have there is actually a 'silver' Antoninianus minted under Caracalla:

Caracalla AR Antoninianus

You are correct that the seated figure is Victory (seated facing right on her cuirass, with a shield on her knee).

The text on the obverse reads:

ANTONINVS PIVS AVG GERM

and on the reverse:

P M TR P XX COS IIII PP

The text under the seated Victory is:

VIC PAR

and

VO XX

is inscribed on her shield.
