Description

CARAUSIUS. 287-293 AD. Antoninianus (23mm - 4.74 g). "C" mint. IMP C CARAVSIVS P AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / PROVID AVG, Providentia standing left, holding wand pointed at globe in right hand, cornucopia in left; S-C. RIC V 346 var. (mint mark). Nice VF, strike a bit soft on the shoulder, dark gray patina.

There is possibly a faint in the exergue, in which case this would be RIC 346, not a variety of 346, but it's very faint and maybe I'm just imagining it being there.
