This particular specimen has survived the centuries in certified Very Fine condition, offering a tangible connection to the ancient Mediterranean world. The obverse of the coin features a right-facing portrait bust of Empress Faustina. Surrounding her likeness is the Latin inscription DIVA FAVSTINA, a title translating to Divine Faustina, which confirms its minting as a consecration issue after her death.
