Note that the link identifies the empress as HERENNIA ETRUSCILLA
"ANNIAN AITROUCKILLAN".....not Annia Faustina.

Hi folks,

Here is my example (scroll down, last coin):

I purchased it from Mr. Lindgren before he passed away.

In my thread "Coins of mythological interest" you find an interesting article about this kind of Apollo titled "Apollo Lykeios - or rather not?", based on the article of Bekircan Tahberer "Apollo Lykeios in Ancient Tarsus Numismatics, Celator #30"  

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=25089.0

If you are interested in the meaning of your coin you should read that.

Best regards
