<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3243650, member: 19463"]My favorite is also the Faustina but for a different reason than the reverse type. My want list includes two dated Faustina coins of Alexandria. The first would have a young looking portrait and a high year date. The second would have an older portrait and a lower number year date. This would be to show that coins dated year 11 and higher refer to dates of Faustina's father Antoninus Pius while 10 and under refer to her husband Marcus Aurelius's dates. A coin dated 11 was struck almost 24 years before one dated year 10 and the faces on these coins show the passage of time. Mat's year 17 would be fine for a young 'as daughter' example. Today I own neither. CNG has sold coins that would do quite nicely.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=349333" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=349333" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=349333</a> year 11 young</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=140427" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=140427" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=140427</a> year 6 old[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
