Faustina Senior (also known as Faustina I) was the wife of Antoninus Pius. What little is known about her is that she died in the third year of Antoninus' reign at the age of 36. The evidence from ancient sources suggest that she was not particularly well liked as an empress, although this is said by later historians to be unsubstantiated and uncorroborated gossip. Antoninus Pius does seem to have loved her however, and had her deified after her death. Most of her coins are posthumous issues describing her as 'Diva Faustina'. However, this particular coin is a less common lifetime issue of the Empress.
The reverse shows Juno, Queen (of the Gods) on the reverse (IVNONI REGINAE). To Juno's right is her sacred peacock, the equivilent of her husband Jupiter's eagle.
