| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, with hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape, rendered in the Antonine court style. The effigy is set within a circular field with the Greek legend distributed around the periphery. The portrait exhibits the characteristic idealized treatment of imperial women on Alexandrian billon tetradrachms of this period. |
