This one looks scarce to me? I see an ( Z ) in the middle of the reverse is that the mintmark in this case? Report this Post to the Staff

The emperors issued coinage of their family (usually exclusively their wife) occaisonally. They were always issued in smaller quantities than the emperor's issues, but are often very easy to find - Salonina turns up quite a lot. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 08/07/2015 11:29 am It's also an antoninianus rather than a follis Thankfully they didn't put a 20lb crown on the females ! The crescent behind the bust indicates the denomination. Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 08/07/2015 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
