Lucilla AE Dupondius

LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F, draped bust right.
VESTA S-C, Vesta standing left by altar, holding simpulum 
and palladium.

Van Meter 30; RIC 1780.
AVF. The great appeal of this coin lies in the superb lustrous 
jade patina, one of the finest patinas I've seen on an 
ancient bronze and unfortunately not done justice at all 
by the image. Must be seen to be appreciated.
