Roman AR Denarius Faustina Sr. (138-140/1 AD) XF NGC (Random)
Struck in silver between 138 and 141 AD, this Roman denarius offers a direct connection to the imperial court of the second century. The coin honors Empress Faustina the Elder, a prominent figure in Rome's history whose legacy was celebrated across the empire. This particular issue has survived the centuries in Extra Fine condition, allowing modern observers to appreciate the artistry of ancient minting. The front of the coin displays a detailed portrait of Empress Faustina looking toward the right. Surrounding her likeness is the clear Latin inscription DIVA FAVSTINA, a dedication marking her memory. Because these coins were produced with different reverse designs, the back of each piece carries its own unique historical motif, making every surviving specimen a distinct object of study.
