<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 8296717, member: 41219&quot;]As many of you know, I am doing my best to raise a new generation of coin collectors - specifically with a focus on ancient coins and history. </p><p><br /></p><p>My daughter has been interested in what her older brother, FFIVN, and I have been doing for a few years now and has started collecting her own coins. The one thing she has said since day one though, is that there should be more coins with girls on them!</p><p>I whole heartedly agree and have been doing my best to help her add some to her burgeoning collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Several CTers have recently helped her expand her collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>We received a package from [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] that included some beautiful sestertii of his favorite Faustina(s). My daughter chose a large sestertius of Faustina II that featured Fecunditas with 4 children - Perfect for our family since we have 4 kids!</p><p><br /></p><p>And then a few weeks ago, we received a package in the mail from [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] and were flabbergasted upon opening it to find a host of world coins along with some absolutely beautiful ancients. Included, was a bag which contained &quot;Coins with girls&quot;. My daughter was over the moon!</p><p><br /></p><p>We have been slowly pecking away at the ones that were not identified. Well, today was the first day of spring break and we finished identifying the last one!</p><p><br /></p><p>She asked if we could share all of her new coins with girls and who am I to say &quot;no&quot;? So here they are. Many many thanks to the generous CTers who have helped a little girl expand her collection and love for coins and history!</p><p><br /></p><p>Without further ado:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467216[/ATTACH] </p><p>Faustina II</p><p>ca 157-161 AD</p><p>AE sestertius</p><p>Obverse: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right </p><p>Reverse:&nbsp; FECVND AVGVSTAE S-C, Fecunditas standing right, holding two infants in her arms, two girls at her feet</p><p>ex: [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467222[/ATTACH]</p><p>Faustina I</p><p>Denarius</p><p>Rome</p><p>148-161 AD</p><p>Obverse: DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right </p><p>Reverse: AVGVSTA, Vesta standing left, holding patera over lit altar and Palladium close to her side in other arm</p><p>ex: [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467223[/ATTACH]</p><p>Faustina II</p><p>AE As</p><p>161-175 AD</p><p>Rome</p><p>Obverse: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right </p><p>Reverse: LAETITIA S-C, Laetitia standing left, holding wreath and sceptre</p><p>ex: [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467224[/ATTACH]</p><p>Herennia Etruscilla</p><p>AR Antoninianus</p><p>Obverse: HER ETRVSCILLA AVG, diademed, draped bust right on crescent </p><p>Reverse:&nbsp; PVDICITIA AVG, Pudicitia standing left holding sceptre &amp; drawing veil from her face</p><p>ex: [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467225[/ATTACH]</p><p>Julia Soaemias</p><p>Denarius</p><p>220 AD</p><p>Obverse: IVLIA SOAEMIAS AVG, draped bust right </p><p>Reverse: VENVS CAELESTIS, Venus seated left, holding sceptre, extending her hand to Cupid standing before her</p><p>ex: [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467232[/ATTACH]</p><p>Julia Paula</p><p>219-220 AD</p><p>AE24</p><p>Thessalonica, Macedonia</p><p>Obverse: IOVΛIA ΠAVΛA AVΓ, draped bust right </p><p>Reverse:&nbsp; ΘECCAΛONIKEΩN, Nike walking left, holding Kabeiros and palm</p><p>ex: [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a picture of a girl holding a bag of coins with girls</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467234[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
