| Reverse description | Standing female figure of Laetitia (personification of Joy and Prosperity) depicted facing left in long flowing robes, her pose conveying serene elegance. She holds a wreath extended in her right hand and an anchor or sceptre in her left, attributes commonly associated with this personification on Carausian coinage. The reverse legend LAETITIA AVG encircles the field, invoking the joy and felicity of the Augustus. The style is characteristic of the unofficial or semi-official workshop production of the Britannic Empire mints, with somewhat rough execution typical of the period. The coin surface displays patination consistent with a bronze alloy antoninianus of the late third century. |
