    Also, my 17,000 post.

    Faustina Maior Ae Sestertius 139 AD Lifetime Obv Bust right wearing hair bound with pearls on to of her head. Rv.Juno standing left holding patera RIC 1077a 24.80 grms 30 mm Photo by W. Hansen faussnrs2.jpg Though the coinage issued in her name is very extensive those minted while she was still alive are somewhat scarce. Faustina Maior died at the age of 40 two years into the reign of her husband Antoninus Pius. In response to this loss Pius had caused to be issued perhaps the most extensive commemorative coinage minted for anyone in the Imperial series.

    Annia Galeria Faustina Augusta (Augusta, 147 - winter 175/176 AD).
    This denarius with the bust wearing the stephane is unlisted in RIC and Cohen, if someone knows if it is in RIC please let me know.
    However, it is listed in BMCRE: BMCRE 109; RSC 120b and it is listed in RIC for bronze: Sestertius and Dupondius.
