History of the Artifact
Faustina the Younger was born around 130 AD, the daughter of Emperor Antoninus Pius and Empress Faustina the Elder. She married her maternal cousin, Marcus Aurelius, who would later become one of Rome’s most respected emperors. As empress, she held the title Augusta and played a prominent role in the imperial court during one of the empire’s most turbulent and philosophically influential periods.
Faustina accompanied Marcus Aurelius on several of his military campaigns, particularly along the Danube frontier, which was highly unusual for a Roman woman of her status. She was celebrated for her dignity, generosity, and the stability she brought to the imperial household. Despite some ancient accusations of infidelity and intrigue, the emperor held her in the highest regard, referring to her as “faithful” and “revered” in his private writings. After her death in 175 AD, Marcus Aurelius had her deified, and numerous statues and coins were issued in her honor, cementing her legacy as one of the most venerated empresses of Rome’s golden age.

The delivery took quite a while, but this has nothing to do with the saler. I am very happy with my purchase, having a real piece of history in my home is really cool. The little display case looks nice and sturdy.

Fast shipping came in great condition well package.
Coin is very beautiful. Five stars.

All perfect packaging and excellent delivery times. It was a real pleasure


The button arrived upside down in the display case so I had to open it up and fix it before gifting. Other than that everything was great! Neat gift.


Fast shipping, the coin came with COA and was exactly as pictured! Thank you!

Gorgeous object. However, I would have preferred more details in his description.

Comes with the little display case and everything advertised in the picture. Awesome store

Very cool coin! I bought it for my dad for Father’s Day and I know he’s going to love it.

The seller was super helpful And professional during the inquiry before and during the purchase. He helped to pick out a beautiful piece for my brothers gift! Highly recommend.

Great pin in a wonderful time presentation box!

I like the coin a lot, it is a very nice piece of history. Fits perfectly in to my collection. Delivery was on time and packaging very good. The case that it is in is just so nice it looks like in a museum. :)

Amazing! I love both the coins I got from here!! I can’t wait to give them to their recipients for Christmas!



The Coin and case is awesome! The only additional thing that could make it perfect would be a little description of what/who the coin faces represent and possibly where the specific coin was found. Otherwise very content

They were so helpful and patient with me I couldn’t be more grateful. They gave me such good service and such fast shipping I’m buying another coin when I get paid again!! I’m going to continue buying from these guys, it looks even better in person. It’s everything I was hoping for:) I’m obsessed with it it looks amazing in my collection:)

Great item with case. Carefully packaged. A great find!
