It is hard to photograph this pic because it is very darkly toned and I want to keep it that way as it is nice.

Obverse - FAVSTINA AVGVSTA  - draped bust right
Reverse - CONCORDIA  AVG- Concordia holding patera & double cornucopiae
AR Denarii minted in Rome between 139 - 141AD and reference is RIC III 335 and I have seen it listed as R2

I have a predilection for lifetime Faustina I.  I got my denarius in my first year of collecting.  I have posted my sestertius before, and larger, but here it is again, with the denarius.
• 20 10 05 Æ sestertius.  28.64g  33.5mmRome.  Faustina I, viva.  VENERI AVGVSTAE.  RIC 1081.
