Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, AD 286-293. Antoninianus (22mm, 2.66 g, 8h). ‘C’ mint. Struck circa AD 287-290. Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Moneta standing left, holding scales and cornucopia; [...]SC. RIC V.5 (2788) (this coin cited and illustrated). Dark green patina, a few light scratches. Near VF. Unique.

From the Chris Bailey Collection.

Dr. Moorhead notes that while this unique piece certainly has a letter before the SC mintmark in the exergue, its style is earlier than the other MSC coins. However, given that the mintmark is not fully clear, it is placed alongside the other MSC coins for now until a clearer specimen should surface.
