| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn up into a bun at the back of the head, rendered in typical Antonine imperial portrait style. The effigy is set within a circular field bounded by a plain or dotted border, now heavily worn. The Greek legend ΦΑΥϹΤΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ ('Faustina Augusta') runs around the periphery, identifying the empress as consort of Marcus Aurelius. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show significant patination and encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |
