Brass Sestertius of Faustina II
Here is an example of the classic Sestertius with deeply dished fields and devices boldly struck in high relief. Though there is a considerable amount of wear on this coin, the main features remain sharp. Venus' face and the folds of her garment are fully modeled and the lettering is of a decently large font and bold.
