[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7429730, member: 85693"]Lovely coin, RC. And another informative post, as ever. I have a non-stephane sestertius (which I seen now needs some date-honing based on the information you provided): [ATTACH=full]1289745[/ATTACH] [B]Faustina II Æ Sestertius (161-176 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] [FA]VSTINA AV[GVSTA], draped bust right, double circlet of pearls / L[AETITI]A S C, Laetitia standing left holding wreath and scepter. RIC 1654; Sear 5279 (26.54 grams / 31 mm) Here's a Faustina II Laetitia denarius - perhaps my favorite (in my collection) of this empress - I like the artwork: [ATTACH=full]1289744[/ATTACH] [B]Faustina II Denarius (147-149 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] FAVSTINAE AVG PII AVG FIL, draped bust right / LAETITIAE PVBLICAE, Laetitia standing left, holding wreath and sceptre. RIC 506b; RSC 155a. (2.95 grams / 18 mm)[/QUOTE]
