Herennia Etruscilla, Augusta, 249-251. Antoninianus (Silver, 21 mm, 4.32 g, 6 h), struck under Trajan Decius, Rome, early 251. HER ETRVSCILLA AVG Diademed and draped bust of Herennia Etruscilla set on crescent to right. Rev. FECVNDITAS AVG Fecunditas standing facing, with her head turned to left, holding cornucopia in her left hand and extending her right to child, standing front, head to right and with hands raised towards her. Cohen 8. RIC 55b. Very well-struck, with an outstandingly fine portrait in high relief, toned, and one of the finest Antoniniani of Etruscilla this cataloguer has ever seen. Very thin flan crack, otherwise, virtually as struck.

From a Swiss Collection, ex Roma e-sale 4, 28 December 2013, 816, and supposedly from the collection of G. Ortiz (almost believable given the outstanding quality of this coin).
