Back to the 2nd century AD with Lucilla

Was going to post it eventually but lots of new coins seem to be posted lately so thought I'd show it now. This is my second sestertius and my first coin of Lucilla, daughter of Marcus Aurelius and sister of Commodus. And got it for what was imo a pretty hot price: only $17 shipped.

Lucilla, AE Sestertius (empress 164-169 AD)

Obv: LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F, draped bust right
Rev: PIETAS, Pietas standing with head right, and holding patera, altar before, SC in fields, Rome mint
RIC 1756
19.5 grams

Empress im drawn too the most. Not bad for $17 but even then that pit would annoy me over time. portrait is nice though.

 

Nice pick up VK. Pretty darn good portrait.

 

When a coin is worn but still has a clear portrait and the name as readable as this, it is special.

 

Thanks for the comments Yes I am lovin the portrait also, and the coin's chunky size!
