| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, depicted in profile with her characteristic elaborately coiffed hair rendered in low relief. The effigy occupies the central field of the flan, with the legend disposed around the periphery. The portrait follows the Antonine Alexandrian convention for imperial women, with drapery visible at the shoulder. The coin shows considerable wear, with the surrounding Greek legend partially legible in the field. |
