36 mm; 20.23 g; Aurelius/Faustina?
« on: April 17, 2020, 10:21:04 am »
Dear all,

another riddle came my way. I sure have seen such coin before but seem unable to to find it, currently.

Obv. Laureate, bearded head right. The only part of the legend that is readable is "OC" leaving quite some options.
Rv. Draped female head with bun right, part of legend readable "TOYC [...]AC".

The coin is rather large, 36 mm and weighs 20.23 grm.

Any help is highly appreciated.
