[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7955955, member: 75937"]I take it that "toned bronze" in this context refers to a copper alloy coin that is unpatinated but discolored. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-jr-avgvsti-pii-fil-s-c-spes-sestertius-jpg.1348816/[/IMG] Faustina II, AD 147-175. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 29.89 g, 31.0 mm, 6 h. Rome, August, AD 156-157. Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: AVGVSTI PII FIL S C, Spes standing left, holding flower and raising skirt. Refs: RIC 1371; BMCRE 2200-01; Cohen 25; RCV 4711; Strack 1332. Next: coin that is ostensibly supposed to be circular, but isn't very circular.[/QUOTE]
