THESSALY, Koinon of Thessaly. Faustina Junior. Augusta, AD 147-175. Æ Tetrassarion (31mm, 24.05 g, 9h). ΦAVCTЄINA CЄBACTH, draped bust right / KOINON ΘЄCCAΛѠN, Athena Itonia striding right, hurling spear held in her right hand, shield on her left arm. Burrer, MA-G 5 (this coin); Rogers 97, fig. 37.

This is the companion piece to the Marcus Aurelius Tetrassaria and it is interesting to note that Faustina Junior does not age the same way her husband did.
