| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Antonia Minor facing right, her hair elaborately styled with a stephane or diadem and tied in a bun at the nape of the neck, with a long lock falling over the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in fine high relief, displaying the classicizing style characteristic of Claudian court coinage. The encircling legend ANTONIA AVGVSTA runs along the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under Claudius in honor of his mother Antonia Minor, who had died in 37 AD — before he ever held power. The posthumous issue served a clear dynastic purpose: Claudius, whose claim to the throne was shaky after Caligula's assassination, needed to advertise his bloodline. Antonia was the daughter of Mark Antony and niece of Augustus, and emphasizing that lineage was shrewd politics for an emperor the Praetorian Guard had essentially installed by accident.
The CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTI reverse type directly invoked imperial steadfastness — a pointed message given how Claudius actually came to power, reportedly discovered hiding behind a curtain in the palace.
