There is also a coin of Faustina II from Maeonia (SNG Righetti 1040) with a different portrait style and hair-style. Because the portrait on this coin resembles the portrait of Faustina Senior as encountered on imperial coinage and because Münsterberg mentions a magistrate Moukianos in the time of Antoninus Pius, I am attributing this coin to the elder Faustina.
