- AE2
- Profile bust of Flaccilla. AEL[FLA]CCI

- Sear, Roman Coins, p. 353, no. 4192.
- MC 92 [19510]. Worn out by use. Numismatist interpreted reverse as Salus standing and holding an object (a phiale?), but the chrisma and weight suggest this could be RIC IX Constantinople 82, http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.9.cnp.82, in which case the figure is the empress standing with arms crossed. Other AE2 coins with Aelia Flaccilla have Victory seated inscribing a chrisma on a shield (e.g. RIC IX Constantinople 55 subtype 3, http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.9.cnp.55.3), but photos missing and therefore impossible to tell which was intended.
