                              of Marcus Aurelius. Augusta, 147-175/6 AD. Ć 
                              Sestertius (28.86 gm, 1h). Struck circa 157-161 
                              AD. Draped bust right / Fecunditas standing left,

                              As is often the case, the location of the edge 
                              knock on this coin suggests that it was applied in 
                              the mint for the purpose of closing the flan 
crack.
