GADARA OF THE DECAPOLIS, FAUSTINA II AE

Sofaer 44, Spijkerman 49, Choice Very Fine, repatinated, 20.4mm, 5.85 grams, Struck 71/72 C.E.

Obverse: ΦΑVϹΤΙΝΑ ϹЄΒΑϹΤΗ around draped bust of Faustina to right

A nicely centered and struck Biblical city coin with COMPLETE inscriptions on both sides! Provincial celator art; to us the portrait of Faustina more closely resembles Richard Nixon.
