Faustina Friday -- Coming Soon to a Subforum of the Roman Empire Forum Near You!

[Roman Collector]

What do these two sestertii have in common? What is the difference between them? What are the implications of this? Find out next week in Faustina Friday!

To me the bottom bust looks like the face of Faustina sr with the hair of Faustina jr?

The coins share the same reverse die, but differ in the obverse legend (FAVSTINAE vs. FAVSTINA)

Another (perhaps more superficial) similarity is that they both appear, judging by the photos, to be ex-Harlan J. Berk coins. 😉

Looking forward to next week!

That is the correct answer!! To find out the implications of this, tune in next week, when the ex- @curtislclay coins finally arrive in the mail from HJB in Chicago.
