DIVA FAUSTINA SENIOR (WIFE OF ANTONINUS PIUS), died A.D. 140/1. AV Solidus (7.13 gms), Rome Mint, struck under Antoninus Pius, ca. A.D. 147-150. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5.
RIC-357a; Calico-1758b. Commemorative issue. Obverse: DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right; Reverse: AVGVSTA, Ceres standing left, holding torch in each hand. A shimmering and glistening example, this incredible specimen presents a rather bold strike and hardly any evidence of handling.
