Dear all,
I was shown photographs of a coin, which is in pretty bad shape and could not make up anything. Anyone with any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Victor

It is a Faustina I posthumous issue, struck after A.D. 141. She was the wife of Antoninus Pius

OBV: DIVA FAVSTINA; her bust right.
REV: AVGVSTA  S C; Ceres holding corn and torch

Thanks Victor, what a huge difference between the two coins.

I mean, it was impossible for me to guess. Thanks once more for saving me.
