faustina jr. with juno reverse?

 

thank you. You mean faustina 1
and what this coin could be Dupondius or sestertius

 

i would guess faustina the younger (II) and a dupondius.

but could be faustina the elder?

get a second opinion, i'm just not sure.

 

I tend to agree. It's most likely Faustina II/Juno reverse.

 

I look all coin Faustina II and here all coins with Juno reverse have some peacock on left and right side. In my coins there was no trace at leg of some bulge. only faustina 1 have coin without peacock with CS



Faustina 1

Faustina I AE Dupondius or As. DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right / IVNO S-C, Juno standing left, holding patera and sceptre. Cohen 211.

 

I think it's Faustina I myself. You can see the differences in the hairstyle between the two. Faustina II has a bun in the back, Faustina I does not.

 

=> here are two examples from my collection ...

Faustina I





Faustina II

 

hey, don't forget Lucilla ...

 

I check all lucila coins. One coin is pretty similar.

But I think it was DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right / IVNO S-C, Juno standing left, holding patera and sceptre. Cohen 211.
