Not much left on this coin, but I'd like to file it as a Faustina II, wife of Marcus Aurelius. Coin is about 25mm. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help?

Thanks Bob. If you think so too, I'll call it Faustina II. This one and the Tiberius clear out some "No ID" coins that I had tucked away years ago and forgot about.

@gtkwml, I'm not super-knowledgeable about these, but your coin sure looks a lot like my Semis from Faustina with Juno on the rev:

Thanks, Spence. I'm feeling pretty confident now! This coin was put aside in a catch-all drawer for years. I figured I'd never identify it. But then I discovered this awesome forum, which has added so much enjoyment to my coin cleaning and identifying. Thanks to all of you fine and knowing folks!
