<p>[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4297906, member: 100731"]This coin is offered by an online seller as part of a large group of coins. I cropped out the other coins (which I have no interest in), and combined the obverse and reverse (so that explains the poor picture quality). So far, however, I've been unable to ID it:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1093984[/ATTACH]</p><p>The obverse seems to read <b><u>(but I'm not sure!)</u></b> "DIVAAVG ......", and the reverse PIETASAVG, with Pietas sacrificing on an altar. </p><p><br /></p><p>The busts looks a bit like the DIVA Faustina I denarius, however, these show pietas with raised hands (an example shown here: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/scarce-faustina-i-denarius.356243/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/scarce-faustina-i-denarius.356243/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/scarce-faustina-i-denarius.356243/</a>)</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-sr-pietas-avg-raising-hands-veiled-bust-denarius-ans-jpg.1079940/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So which empress do we see here?

[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4297906, member: 100731"]This coin is offered by an online seller as part of a large group of coins. I cropped out the other coins (which I have no interest in), and combined the obverse and reverse (so that explains the poor picture quality). So far, however, I've been unable to ID it: [ATTACH=full]1093984[/ATTACH] The obverse seems to read [B][U](but I'm not sure!)[/U][/B] "DIVAAVG ......", and the reverse PIETASAVG, with Pietas sacrificing on an altar. The busts looks a bit like the DIVA Faustina I denarius, however, these show pietas with raised hands (an example shown here: [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/scarce-faustina-i-denarius.356243/[/URL]) [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-sr-pietas-avg-raising-hands-veiled-bust-denarius-ans-jpg.1079940/[/IMG] So which empress do we see here? Any help is appreciated :)[/QUOTE]
