Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, AD 286-293. Antoninianus (19mm, 4.44 g, 7h). ‘C’ mint. Struck circa AD 287-290. Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Griffin walking left; [MC]. RIC V.5 (2698) (this coin cited and illustrated). Dark green patina. Near Fine. Unique. The only example cited in RIC V.5.

From the Chris Bailey Collection.

With the exergue largely off flan, the attribution to the ‘C’ mint (and particularly the MC mint mark) is likely largely based off of the similar style of this coin to its brethren. A clearer specimen is required to confirm the type definitively.

Closing Date and Time: 24 September 2026 at 11:46:20 ET.
