Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, AD 286-293. Antoninianus (17.5mm, 2.85 g, 6h). Rotomagus (Rouen) mint. IMP C CARAVSIVS AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / L ETIT I A, galley right with gubernator and seven rowers; wreath on prow; waves below; OPA. RIC V.5 368 (forthcoming; this coin cited and illustrated); cf. RIC V 648-9 (for similar issues; same rev. die as illustrated example of 648); Malcolm Lyne, “Some New Coin Types of Carausius and Allectus and the History of the British Provinces: AD 286-296” in NC 2003, p. 158 and pl. 26, 13 corr. (rev. legend; this coin). Attractive dark green patina, light roughness and cleaning scratches. Near EF. Unique. The only example noted in RIC V.5. Webb and Lyne both misread an additional A in the reverse legend - as in - LAETITIA rather than LETITIA. There is no initial A, however, as is evidenced by this very high grade example.
