jman965 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 2:18 pm Since I'm sitting around home this weekend, the expertise forum has inspired me to go through little bag of presumed lost causes and try a few longer shots. Any ideas on this one? Diameter is approx 27mm. Letters are hard to make out - maybe a C on the left or an F/P on the right. Hoping that the profile of the bust may spark some thoughts. Thanks again!

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 2:22 pm ....Faustina I......Wife of Antoninus Pius... At 27mm probably an AS/Dupondius..Whas the weight?.... I'm reading DIVA FAUSTINA on the obverse... Reverse diety could possibly be Ceres holding torch? Edited by Palouche 03/14/2020 2:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jman965 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 10:31 pm Weight is 9-10g. Does that make it an AS or change the thinking at all? Otherwise, I think you've nailed it again - obverse certainly Faustina. Reverse - is it just me or is this facing right? All the examples I'm seeing only of Ceres reverses have her facing left? Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 03:59 am This one looks pretty close to yours.... You have the coin in hand but I think I can make out a 'G' at 9 o'clock and 'S T' at 1 and 2 o'clock? FAUSTINA Sr AE As Struck at Rome, 148-161AD 13.5g, 27mm OBV. DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right. REV..AVGVSTA S-C, Ceres standing left holding torch & corn-ears RIC 1171 Edited by Palouche 03/15/2020 04:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
