Bildname: | normal Carausius %DCberpr%E4gung Denar |
Bildbeschreibung: | Carausius Denarius, 287-293 AD, Londinium (?). Obv: IMP CARAVSIVS P F AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev: CONRDIA NILITVM .., clasped hands. 20-23 mm, 2.92 g RIC - Extremely fine for wear. Very rare denomination. Possibly unique as an overstrike on an identifiable earlier coin. The obverse shows hints of a radiate crown of the undertype, while the reverse shows a Sol standing left on the clasped hands. Based on the style and the fact that Carausius did overstrike a couple of Gallic ants, we can safely assume that the undertype is a Gallic Empire Antoninian. Since Postumus and Victorinus were the only Gallic emperors to use a standing Sol as reverse type, but Postumus' ORIENS AVG coins being of white metal, the overstruck coin must be a Victorinus Antoninian with INVICTVS around Sol reverse, Zschucke 204, RIC V 114, AGK 9b. Ex Rutten & Wieland |
