    Lucilla AE As 11.2g, 24mm

    OBV: LUCILLA ANTONINI AVG

    REV: IVNONI LV

    Looked all over the internet for a match to this coin and failed. I also looked at RIC but I'm not finding it.

    There are some matches on the reverse legend to a Sestertius and even a Denarius.

    IVNONI LVCINAE, I'm pretty sure the reverse legend might be close to this.

    It's difficult to tell because of my scanner photo and some of the legend is worn off but I would appreciate some help with the coin. Thanks.

    TIF Always learning.

    Can you post larger images? Are you sure it's Lucilla? Also, isn't Juno Lucina portrayed seated, holding a child?

    Edited: I was wrong about the seated portrayal.

    Ok, sorry I didn't post right away TIF. I got extremely busy and I don't have another better photo. Here is the group lot photo.

    I also posted the coin at a ancient coin group on Facebook. One guy there got it for me as RIC III 1749.

    It's definitely Lucilla because only her as part of the obverse legend ANTONINI AVG F.

    Looks like you have an Antonia in that lot too.

    The story about this lot of coins is kind of complicated. But anyways, I have two out of the lot. The other 3 were reserved for me. Unfortunately, Rudi Smits the guy that was selling them to me passes away. His daughter was handling everything after and it took awhile to get two coins of the lot and another one which I'm posting later. Don't think I'm going to get the other three.

    The other three are.

    Top row left: Titus

    Top row right: Lucius Verus - I have this one.

    Top center: Antonia

    Bottom left: Lucilla - I have this one.

    Bottom right: Clodius Albinus (I doubt the attribution)
