<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7344067, member: 75937&quot;]This is my favorite from March because Faustina&#039;s portrait is in very fine style. Moreover, it&#039;s quite scarce. After a comprehensive internet search, I have been able to identify only three other known examples with a stephaned bust: The British Museum specimen, the Tameryazev and Makarenko plate coin, and LAC auction 42, lot 408. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-jr-ivno-denarius-diademed-jpg.1265125/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Faustina II, AD 147-175.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 3.01 g, 19.6 mm, 1 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 161-164.</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust of Faustina II, right, wearing stephane.</p><p>Rev: IVNO, Juno standing left, holding patera and scepter; peacock at feet.</p><p>Refs: RIC 688 var.
