Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, AD 286-293. Antoninianus (19.5mm, 3.43 g, 7h). Earlier style. Legionary type. Unmarked mint(?). Struck circa AD 286-287. IMP CARAVSIVS P F AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / LE G [II] PARTH, Centaur standing left, holding globe and rudder. Cf. RIC V.5 (1064) (for similar) and 1888 (for type at the London mint). Dark green patina, some roughness. VF. With the exergue off flan, it is difficult to say if this could be a more common RIC V.5 1888 from London. Confirmation of RIC V.5 (1064) is still required.
