Commentary
Poids léger. As bien daté grâce à la représentation du revers. Le revers avec la Fécondité à droite est attesté pour le sesterce mais pas pour l’as dans les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. Ace well dated thanks to the representation on the reverse. The reverse with Fertility on the right is attested for the sestertius but not for the ace in general works.

Historical background
FAUSTINA MINOR
(+175)
Augusta
Young Faustina, the daughter of Antoninus and Faustina Mother, was born between 128 and 132. She married Marc Aurèle in 145 and received the title of augusta in 146. She had thirteen children, seven of whom survived childhood. A very important coinage is struck until his death in 175 in Halala at the foot of Mount Taurus in Cappadocia.
