Categoria
Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, AD 286-293. Antoninianus (19mm, 4.08 g, 6h). Uncertain mint. VIC TORIA CARAVSI A, radiate and cuirassed bust right, holding spear over right shoulder in right hand / PA X AVG, Pax, draped, standing left, holding olive branch and vertical scepter. RIC V.5 1273 (forthcoming); RIC V – but cf. 786 (cites Webb; for same obv. die); P. Webb, “The Reign and Coinage of Carausius” in NC 1907, 883 (cites Selborne; same); cf. CHRB III, 20281 (same) = Blackmoor Hoard of Third Century Roman Bronze Coins (Christie’s, 9 December 1975), lot 262 corr. (obv. legend; same); cf. CNG 457, 445 (same); cf. R. Bourne, “Opuscula carausiana,” in Yorkshire Numismatist 4 (2012), pp. 1-3, no. 1-5 (same). Green-brown patina, light roughness. VF. Extremely rare issue from a very rare obverse die. Only four examples noted in RIC V.5.
From the Dr. Malcolm Lyne Collection, purchased from David Miller, 29 March 2011.
A very rare obverse legend, known from very few examples from the same obverse die. Bourne knew of five coins in his 2012 article that share this obverse die across three types: Laetitia (2), Fortuna (2), and CONCOR MIL AETERN(?) (1). The CNG Electronic Auction 457 example in 2019 added one additional specimen to the Fortuna reverses. Additionally, the CNG 571, 1153 example may add a Virtus reverse. There are finally four examples noted in RIC V.5 (including this coin) with the Pax reverse (another being CNG 571, 1151 correction). Thus the number of reverse types rises to four or five and the corpus of known examples from this very rare and desirable obverse legend stands at approximately eleven examples. Descripción
