Hello,

I have found one old coin but I can't identified it. Coin is not in very good shape but maybe some of you could tell me something more about it? If someone know something about this coins(is this a coin?) please let me know.

Thank you very much.

Looking at the portrait, I assume it is a coin strucked for Faustina the Elder, the wife of Antoninus Pius, who reigned from 138 until 161. Faustina died 141. I think it is an As. On the backside I assume a lying woman, maybe its Aeternitas.

Certainly not Faustina Mater!
It is either her daughter Faustina Filia, wife of Marcus Aurelius, or her sister Lucilla, wife of Lucius Verus.

I have no doubt that this is Faustina Filia. Can you give us the weight and the diameter? This may be a provincial coin, it looks rather thick for an as.
