     Faustina Senior and M. Annius Galerius Antoninus. After circa 147
     AD. Æ Dupondius (10.97 gm). Rome mint? Draped bust of Faustina
     right / Draped bust of Galerius Antoninus right. Niggler 3, 1316;
     Lindgren III 940; Cohen 2. Fair, brown patina. Extremely Rare!
     716319

     Ex Davissons Auction Two (30 November 1993), lot 122.

     Cyprus, Crete and an uncertain city in Asia Minor have all been
     suggested as possible mint locations for this extraordinary
     issue, but the style and fabric seem Roman. It is possible that
     it was struck in Rome for circulation elsewhere; we know that
     this was the case with other coins, e.g. , both Alexandria and
     Antioch, so it is not an unlikely scenario.

     Galerius Antoninus (died circa137 AD) was one of two sons, both
     of whom died while still very young, of Antoninus Pius and
     Faustina Senior. The occassion for this issue is obscure. It has
     been suggested that it had a dual purpose of celebrating the
     birth of Faustina Junior's first son and serving as a memorial to
     her brother on the tenth anniversary of his death.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.
