| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Maximianus facing right, depicted with a short beard, wearing the characteristic radiate crown of the antoninianus denomination. The effigy is rendered in a somewhat provincial style consistent with the Londinium mint under Carausius. The encircling Latin legend IMP C MAXIMIANVS PF AVG runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his imperial titles. The overall style reflects the reduced artistic standards typical of late third-century Romano-British coinage. |
