Copper alloy modified Roman coin, possibly a sestertius. The flan is square with rounded corners and appears to have been hammered around the edges to square-up or lip the periphery. The thinness of the coin and the fact that both obverse and reverse are struck in relatively low relief for the period suggest either a contemporary copy or that the object was struck in imitation of a coin, but was not intended for use as one. Obverse; female bust facing right, probably Faustina the Younger (Reece Period 8. Circa AD161-175). Reverse: standing female figure. Die axis 6 o'clock.

A cut fragment originating from a sestertius struck for Faustina I, dating to c. AD 161-175. Reece period 8. Reverse: uncertain due to wear and cutting of the coin. Mint of Rome. This fragment consists c. 20% of the original flan, with the edges apparently having been hammered into a square shape before a neat truncation has removed this slice from one edge. The motivation for this action may have been votive in character, though this remains uncertain.
