So my favourite LVNA is this one. Not for the quality of the coin necessarily but for the rarity of the coin. Gobl lists only 1 known example and in 25 years I haven’t seen another for sale or auction except the one I acquired. Not to say that there aren’t more in a collection some where. However, I present the second known (to me) example: Salonina Avg/Lvna Lvcifera/star in exergue

It is not within my collecting focus but I confess the Julia Domna type is gorgeous.

Here is an example of the flowing cloak:

Nice coin. You should be able to fill in a few different variants and bust types. The reverse has two variants, one with a flowing cloak and one without. Additionally, there are two or three bust types (I don’t have Gobl handy). Then for fun you can collect a later issue with LVNA LVCIF and most commonly with PXV in the exergue.

I suspect that the prices commanded by these coins are not only due to their general desirability but the overstated (my opinion) belief in their rarity. 20 years ago I would say they were scarce but I have noticed a steady increase in the last years.
