"Sideribus Recepta" translates to "Received by the stars," symbolizing Faustina's ascension to the heavens and her new status as a celestial being or goddess. This example is leaving my collection due to a duplicate on a larger flan, but I still like this piece a lot.

Obverse: Bust of Faustina II, draped, hair elaborately waved in nearly vertical lines and fastened in a low chignon at the back of the head, down the cheek, curls, right, DIVA FAVSTINA PIA

Reverse: Diana, draped, standing front, head left, holding a transverse lighted torch in both hands; crescent behind the head, SIDERIBVS RECEPTA S C.
