dwayne8625 Pillar of the Community United States 582 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 10:52 pm I have never post one of my coins because I buy them to identify and learn the history of them while doing so... but I've been working on this coin for two months and the only thing I have is it MIGHT have been between Galba to Septimius Severus... the coin is 21mm, 5.9gms, and 2.5mm thick. Thanks has been identified, moving to correct section Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 01:44 am to the community This is a Roman provincial coin, my best guess from only a profile of the bust is that it could be Faustina II. Report this Post to the Staff
dwayne8625 Pillar of the Community United States 582 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 02:18 am I think you are right... I hope it is I'am collecting the 5 good emperors and marcus aurelius is my favorite and I have two of his coins and want his wife... but the bust is so wore down that I can barely see (what I think) the N and A above the bust... I've had no luck on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Draped bust right / OVLPIAC PAVTALIAC, Hygeia standing right feeding serpent she is holding.
