pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 6:31 pm Sorry about the picture, only got the obv at the moment and had to take a screenshot. DO NOT GET WINDOWS 8 it deleted all my files (ahhgggg). Does this qualify as a monster coin? 36mm x 30mm 26.9g. You would not want too many of these in your pocket. Not sure which Faustina this is, she only arrived today. She is a bit battered and a funny shape but I love her. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 6:55 pm I will try and do it tomorrow. Perhaps this is a medallion rather than a coin. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 8:28 pm Looking at the hair, I thought it was Faustina I also. The reverse appears to be Juno but there is no legend. The closest I have found on Wildwinds is: DIVA FAUSTINA SR., wife of Antoninus Pius. Died 141 AD. Ã† Sestertius (31mm, 25.57 gm). Diademed and draped bust right / Juno standing left, holding patera and long sceptre. RIC III 1143 (Antoninus Pius); Cohen 210. Sear Roman Coins and their Values (RCV 2000 Edition) Number 4629 But mine is bigger and heavier. Found similar coins on Tantalus, but the reverse was listed as Juno, Ceres, Letitia among others, and few bothered to put weight or measurement in. Just measured the edge and at the thickest part it is 4 or 5mm. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 9:06 pm Yes, Faustina I. At that size it would be a Sestertius. Report this Post to the Staff
