I am so sorry for everything you have gone through!

Here is a coin we sold at auction a few years ago, a bronze medallion of Volusian which had been "missing" since 1830 and a provenance that goes back to 1775!

Volusian's father, the emperor Trebonianus Gallus, was born in Perusia, which he later renamed Arna after his wife. During the reign of Gallus a pestilence spread across much of Italy and claimed the life of Decius' son, Hostilian. This reverse type certainly represents the statue of Apollo which was considered the “healing and succouring deity”. There are other medallions of Gallus with the legend “APOLLINI SALVTARI”, leaving little doubt that this type was representative of the series. [See: F. W. Madden, Numismatic Chronicle 1868, pp. 8-10 and Stevenson, A Dictionary of Roman Coins (definition of ARN ASI)]


May you have nothing but good new for the foreseeable future!

 

So good to know your wife is home and you all are doing better. You all will be doing better every day.

You are admirable.
Be safe

 

Dang, @bcuda, getting to this way too late. Yep, praying for you folks. (--Don't care who knows it.)
For coins, the nearest I'm likely to get is this.

Kingdom of Aragon (and Navarre), Sancho Ramirez (1063-1094), dinero (Spanish) /diner (Occitan).
Obv. (From 11 o'clock: ) SAN.CIVS REX
Rev. Tree, surmounted by a cross --sometimes characterized as a Tree of Life.
ARA [/] GON (with ligatures). Crusafont (Monedas Espanolas v. IV) 213.2.
You've got people, angels emphatically included, pulling for you folks.
If you didn't obviously know this better than I do, I might be saying, Keep Fighting! ...Whatever, I'll say it anyway.
