                     [Look at THIS!]   [Look at THIS!]

                  Unique Faustina Senior gold aureus, VF

     Diva Faustina Senior, wife of Antoninus Pius, AV aureus, (6.52g
     with mount) Rome Mint, struck after her death in 141 AD, DIVA AVG
     FAVSTINA Draped bust right, hair in bun, struck in low relief for
     an aureus / CONC OR DIAE ANTONINVS PIVS standing right, holding
     scroll, clasping right hands with Faustina Senior standing left,
     holding scepter. Unpublished as an aureus, cf.
     RIC(Pius)381(denarius), RSC158(same), BMC466(same). Apparently
     unique. VF, clipped, in Victorian era bezel.

     The relief of the obverse die, and the previous unknown use of
     this reverse type on an aureus, show that denarius dies were used
     to strike this apparently unique aureus. This is an unusual
     practice for this period.
