Faustina II * Juno, 130-176 AD. AR Denarius.

Faustina II * Juno, Silver Denarius.

Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA * Draped bust, right-facing
Rev: IV NO * Juno standing left, holding patera in right hand, arm oustretched, and sceptre in left hand; peacock at feet to her left and also left-facing.

Exergue: (Blank)

Mint: Rome
Struck: 161-176 AD. (Based on the Lanz coin, of later coiffure style).

Size: 18 mm.
Weight: 3.16 grams
Die axis: 180°

Condition: On the whole, very lovely silver, clear, sharp and bright luster overall. While there is some light wear on the reverse, the coin looks better in hand than this image shows; the patera is still quite visible, etc. The wear to the peacock has unfortunately left him rather decapitated. Similar wear has somewhat defaced Juno's left arm and her scepter.
