Half a Roman copper-alloy obverse die matrix for the production of commemorative coins of Faustina the Elder (Faustina I) / DIVA FAVSTINA, dating to c. AD 141-61. Coins for Faustina I were struck in the reign of her husband, Antoninus Pius (AD 138-61). The diameter of the die between the beading (19 mm) indicates that it was intended for the production of silver denarii. The legend would have been [DI]VA FAVST[INA]. The type was a [draped] bust with elaborate hairstyle, coiled on top of Faustina's head. For examples of regular coins of this type, see BMC IV, pl. 8, nos. 14-15. T…

A solid iron object, possibly the lower half of a pair of Roman coin dies. The object is roughly cylindrical, splaying out slightly from the circular, 17.74mm diameter 'striking' surface to a sub-rectangular base (25 x 29mm). No evidence of the design of the coin struck with the die remains unfortunately. Two other Roman iron coin dies, BUC-D08867 and BUC-D099B6 and numerous coin blanks were found nearby at Wing, Bucks and a hoard consisting of three pots of coin blanks and a pair of iron dies were also found nearby at Fenny Stratford [Zeepvat 1994].
