Congratulations on the addition to your family.
Great looking Tacitus btw

 

There are rather fewer Victoria coins in the name of empresses so I will show this rare one (I know of four) from Julia Domna.


Congratulations.

 

Congrats, RC!

The legend on this one reads LIBERTAS (which may be questionable choice for the occasion? ), but it has a nice Victory-Victoria shaking her pom-poms to celebrate the occasion.
