The Roman denarius remained the backbone of imperial currency throughout the mid-late 2nd century AD, though this period marked the beginning of significant monetary challenges for the empire. Under emperors from Antoninus Pius through Commodus, the denarius experienced gradual debasement as silver content decreased from approximately 83% to around 75% by century’s end. This AR Denarius featuring Faustina the Younger, the youngest child of Emperor Antoninus Pius, is graded Choice About Uncirculated by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) with a 4/5 strike designation and a modest 3/5 surface condition. Right now, the Roman Empire Faustina Jr. AR Denarius Coin is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Roman Empire Faustina Jr. AR Denarius Coin is a Choice AU specimen with a refined portrait of Faustina the Younger on the obverse. The coin features bright, largely untoned silver with a frosted luster that enhances the eye appeal of the piece. The coin features a 4/5 strike designation, indicating a well-struck, centered visual. The 3/5 surface designation indicates the coin remains in good visual condition, though modest wear and tear may be evident.
During Faustina the Younger’s lifetime (approximately 130-175 AD), denarii struck in her honor represented a sophisticated instrument of imperial propaganda celebrating her role as wife to Marcus Aurelius and mother to numerous children, including the future emperor Commodus. These coins were minted extensively throughout her marriage and even posthumously following her death in 175 AD, when she was deified by Marcus Aurelius.
Roman Empire AR Denarius featuring Faustina the Younger typically displayed her draped bust on the obverse, often with elaborate hairstyles characteristic of Antonine-era fashion, accompanied by her titles such as “FAVSTINA AVGVSTA.” The reverse designs drew upon an extensive iconographic vocabulary emphasizing fertility, concordia, and maternal virtues, frequently depicting goddesses such as Venus, Juno, Diana, and Fecunditas, or personifications like Concordia and Laetitia. Many reverses celebrated specific events in her life, including the births of her children, with imagery of seated female figures surrounded by infants or standards representing the various offspring who secured the imperial succession.
